Heard really good things and decided to try.. we saw the online menu and saw a clam pizza pie with white clam sauce. When we got to the restaurant it was not on their menu but the waitress said they can make it, no problem. We ordered that and a Caesar Salad. The pie came way before the salad, which by the way was soggy, and not crisp. The pie came with one opened clam shell on each of the 6 slices… no chopped clams, no white clam sauce and they had the audacity to charge $36.00 for this ridiculous nonsense of a clam pie. It was tasteless and so poor. We are not complainers, we don’t send food back…. But we will never return.
