“ Ordered takeout here. It was a little over 30mins wait which is fine since we called and went to pick up after. The place itself is small unfortunately so no dine in available, seems it's takeout only. They do have a small parking lot which is helpful. The pizza was very tasty. We got the large snow white specialty pizza. Prices were ok. ”
