This is my favourite place to get pizza! I’ve been coming here for years and always get the vegan pepperoni. The sourdough bases are so delicious, and everything just tastes even better cooked in the woodfire oven. I definitely recommend coming here and trying the food for yourself! They also have really nice vegan milkshakes. My favourite is the banana shake, it’s so good and surprisingly filling! Everything is definitely worth the price. :)
Xanthe Lee, a month agoThe pizza tastes okay, I feel it is average. The dough is on the thicker side, which is fine, but because there is not much sauce, it feels a bit dry. The pizza overall feels slightly dry, and it would be better if they added more sauce so it does not taste as dry.
Master GC, 6 months agoI like how you can choose the pizza size here. I ordered a small margarita and it was the perfect amount. The wood fire had a nice char on the crust and the ingredients tasted fresh. Would recommend!
