About the restaurant

Six Hundred Downtown is a good old fashioned pizzeria, the way they used to be and they the way they were meant to be. We feel that pizza making is an art and we strive to create the best pizza we possibly can. We hand spin our pizzas the old fashioned way and we bake our pizzas in an old fashioned brick oven.

The food was pretty good, some chicken in the pasta was tough but otherwise everything from starters, salads and entrees was tasty. I do think the prices have really sky rocketed. To add the side salad which isn’t anything elaborate was $7 or $8. Our server was great!!
