Took the kids there last night. They liked it so much, they wanted me to: A. Invite the cooks home with us, or B. Buy the resteraunt. Best thing about it was watching the cook toss the pizza dough...and the pans, and anything else he could get into the air. My son asked if he could do the sauce bucket, but that was a bit too heavy, he replied. Kids had a great time. The pizza was great. 9 y.o. said the spaghetti sauce was the best she ever had. No problems with the waiting-for-the-food-to-come jitters because they were quite well occupied by the "show." Reasonable prices. Ooops, didn't notice the sanitation grade, but the place seemed clean. We gave it a thumbs up. Snuff Forgot to mention, it's in White Oak shopping center near Best Buy.
We like this place too! The only "negative" thing is all the signs... No Sharing, No TO GO cups or pay for a new drink and a few other NO things. But the Food is great! Also if you order the lunch special 2 slices of pizza and a drink "to go" they put it on a paper plate in a bag and no box. LOL Hard to handle... but easy to eat!
Thanks, Snuff! We LOVE Venero's Pizzeria right around the corner on 70, but we'll try that one too! Frogger
I didn't notice any of these signs. One of the customers there asked for a to go cup and they gave it to him without charging anything. Only problem like that I had was they wouldn't give my dtr. one serving of pasta with 2 different sauces (which I can understand). Not really a problem, though; I told her she got one type of sauce and she was ok with that, esp. after she tasted it. Snuff
Pizza = Good - Personality= Crap Went there last night, pizza was great!! Service was at best fair, the guy taking the $$$ was a complete tool. Never said Hey, thank you, can i help you, nothing. He nodded his head when i asked him a question. The guy actually flipping the pizza dough was cool. Who ever owns this needs to check his employees, especially the ones interacting with customers.
Unfortuantely he can be some what rude at times too (at least the owner that is there during the day can be)... Like I said the food is good, but the service, and attitudes could be better in my opinion. Snuff - I am glad they were better when you were there and maybe they took the signs down since a month ago??? but they were there around Christmas at Thanksgiving... hopefully they got out of the Bah Humbug spirit and took them down LOL... I just have not been back since Jan 1 because I am doing the diet thing...
Maybe the owner was visited by 3 ghosts on Chriatmas eve, LOL. Actually, the check out dude could have been friendlier, and they sort of ignored customers while talking to a family member who was visiting the resteraunt. I can see what you guys are talking about. But we still had fun.
The owner is the middle-aged dark haired guy, italian and kinda thug looking..is an italian-mafioso kinda way. He's usually not real talkative, sometimes he's hanging out at the back door smoking. But everytime I've ever been in there, he's been on the premises. I've had a few brief conversations with him, yankee-to-yankee.... he lives over in the Parkside Village or whatever it is at Amelia Church Rd/Guy Rd.
Yes..its a family owned Restaurant...the son mainly manages. The owner "thug" is a sweet ol teddy bear and his wife is a sweetheart.
A few of the times I've been in there, and his momma has been cookin' up some good stuff.. one time she was making gnocci from scratch... stuff thats not on the menu
I don't know about being a sweet teddy bear, but with us he is either very chatty or barely their, either way I am over it and eating!8)
