Josh was an amazing server. Second time having Josh serve us and he remembered us. He gave us new years shots and of course we tipped him over 20%. Love Josh ! will definitely be back and ask for his section

Good food and drink. Fun atmosphere. Staff was somewhat distant -- especially hosts stand -- and occasionally slow. Make sure to make an advance reservation -- even with open tables it's the only way to get a seat.

Food was pretty good but the ID-checkers (strange for a pizza place, right?) kept holding both the inner AND outer doors open, so we were freezing, having been seated right near the door. The noise level was also pretty over-the-top. I liked the DJ's set but I've never understood why a place would have a DJ performing when there's no place to dance.

Super crowded for a Thursday night! Even though we had Open Table reservations we had to wait 20 minutes for our table to be available. Also the waiter was great but they burned out Pizza twice!!

We went there for a team holiday dinner and had a blast. Super cute vibe. Great service. Really yummy appetizers (we had the burrata, elote dip and potato skins) and drinks. We then ordered a few salads and pizzas. The pizza crust is fantastic, but I found there to be little-to-no sauce and their cheese pizza included a sharp white in addition to mozzarella and hardly any seasoning so that left me underwhelmed. Pepperoni was fine. If they improve their sauce, seasoning situation, their pizza would be A+.
