Imagine if a police state ran a pizza joint. You'd best call ahead, and that's when you'll be assigned a time to be there. Show-up times are on ten-minute increments, and even then they won't bake your pizza until you arrive. Don't talk to the lady at the counter unless she talks to you, you will only confuse and irritate her. By the way, when I visited in April, you can only get baked pizza once a week, on Fridays. On Saturdays, the ONLY OTHER day of the week they are open, they will only sell you raw pizza.
The pizza itself (which I got baked) is only decent. Despite what they might claim, I don't think their pizzas are baked in a hot enough oven.
We took two frozen pizzas to our rental as we arrived at diner time with our kids. We needed some relaxing time and quick food. Excellent pizzas! Thin crust, top quality ingredients, excellent flavor, everyone devoured them! And ready in 5 minutes once the oven is hot!
Excellent. I really appreciate their quality. Sourdough crust, local organic ingredients. My family and I are super picky and this place checks all our boxes. Their vegan pizza may sound plain but is packed with flavour. The wood fired oven creates an authentic experience, i love how they modified the food truck. Kudos to Jos and Anna. Gratitude.
Great pizza and equally great service. Highly recommended!
This is by far the best pizza I have eaten in North America and even in many European countries. I came here like 4 times and this pizza truly deserves the name “artisan pizza”. The crust has a wonderful flavor and texture you hardly find anywhere thanks to the wood stove and the long dough rest for the sourdough. I love that they use organic and/or local ingredients and arranged their patio so beautifully. Will definitely come back next year!
