“ Went for lunch and had one 9f their pizzas we have been craving. The service was great and the pizza was amazing ”
“ One of the best pizza's in Michigan as far as I am concerned. I live 2.5 hours away, I on average stop at least 2 to 3 times a month to bring one home in my travels to see my mother in Battle Creek nursing facility. It is also one of mother's favorite pizza's. A pizza I can honestly say we grew up on and has never changed over the years. Absolutely amazing! ”
“ Popped in here on THE WORST date of my life, but the bartender/waitress was phenomenal and the experience I had there with the workers far surpassed the bad date. 100% will go again. The pizza is phenomenal the drinks are delicious and cheap. Cannot recommend this place enough. Plus! If you're lucky, you'll get to see the cute cook when he's not in the back slanging the food. ”

“ Don’t let the street-face of this place turn you away. Come on in. People are friendly and food is decent. I had a cheese burger and fries with a side of pleasant conversation. This is the kind of college-town bar where the bartender is your waitress and may even join you at your table. ”
