Cauliflower Crust was nice and crunchy, not soggy at all…vegetarian with pesto sauce is highly recommend. A regular crust pizza for hubby, he loved it especially the crust. We sat at the bar and watched the kitchen throw dough. Bartenders were very attentive and friendly. Topped off the meal with peach cobbler! Don’t pass by without stopping in.

Everything from the vibes of the restaurant, to the food itself was simply lovely. I consider myself to be a pizza snob so walking into the restaurant and getting the wonderful aroma of fresh bread was a great start! I can safely say that this was the best pizza I’ve had in Columbus so far. It had a nice savory sauce, with not too much mozzarella and a good amount of basil. The crust had a really nice crisp to it. The whole restaurant was very clean which was much appreciated. Service was top notch and we had another drink at our table before the prior one was even empty. The Sicilian Hot Honey Sandwich pictured below was also a must try. A bit on the pricey side, but still worthwhile to give a shot! Overall I would say this location is a must try in Columbus and I certainly will be back.

Came here to experience the 4.9 star ratings and it was up to the stars We can early a bit before noon, so the place was empty. Ordered meatball and 2 pizza (Numero Uno and Margherita). The meatball was flavorful , tender not packed like most other meatball we had in any Italian restaurant. Marinara sauce was fresh, good tomato flavor not sweet yet without acidic taste. Focaccia was light , airy , crusty yet soft at the same time. Both pizza came out very good also. The dough had enough chewiness, perfect thinness. It’s probably one of the best pizza I’ve ever had. Will definitely go back to try their other dishes. Service was also good, server was quick, friendly.

This pizza place is a must-try! The staff is fantastic, and the atmosphere is great. I've been on a quest to find new pizza places, and I stumbled upon this gem through Google reviews. I brought some true foodies with me, and we were all blown away by the pizza's flavor. The Caesar salad was equally impressive. I highly recommend this place and would give it a solid 10/10. The service was excellent, and the vibe is perfect for watching a football game or simply enjoying good company.

This restaurant was so quaint and comfortable. Absolutely amazing service including the warm greeting we received upon entering. We ordered the meatball appetizer which was amazing and a build your own 10 inch pizza with mushrooms, bell peppers mix, black olives, and the herded ricotta(omg so good). My husband and I both said that this would be in our rotation of regular places we patronize. The patio is amazing, you ealk to the back and its like a mini closed off courtyard with an open roof. Can't wait to go back.

Visited in August for the peach-season specials. Only the cobbler was recommended to me, but I went for the peach pizza too — both were worth it. Pizza: Sweet peaches, savory cheese, and a light char that balanced it all. Cobbler: Topped with vanilla ice cream — the perfect finish. Drinks: Both peach cocktails were good, but the whiskey one (small glass, big ice cube) was my favorite. Bonus: Takeaway tastes just as good as dining in — rare to find. Price: $20–$35 pp | Wait: Immediate seating | Noise: Moderate | Seating: Indoor, bar, patio | Parking: Lot & street | Kid-friendly: Yes | Wheelchair accessible: Yes

Excellent venue with individually crafted pizzas with ingredients made in house served fast enough to set a new bar for the competition. We will be back 100%. - Add on that this restaurant is the place to find the purple unicorn of gluten free and vegan cheese pizzas, you or your Gf/V friends will appreciate it.
