About the restaurant

We are open for lunch from 11:30am - 3:30pm with the full dinner menu. We do NOT have a wait staff for the lunch hours. It is self service with QR code ordering, and we do NOT take reservations during that time.

Our menu offers our specialty, wood fired pizza. Our entrees include house-made made sauces, pestos, pastas, & desserts. We also have a nice selection of wines and craft beer.

If you cannot make a reservation through OpenTable, please call the restaurant as we need to do appointments by phone only after a certain amount of OpenTable reservations.
