    Came in here on a Saturday afternoon. Spotted this little place on accident when I made a wrong turn into a plaza. It looked pretty rustic so I figured I would give it a try! Overall, it was decent pizza.

    So we walked in and first thing you can see is the kitchen. I immediately noticed 2 gentleman working and I made eye contact with one of the guys and smiled and he just looked away lol. Not too welcoming, not even a hello. I get that you work in the kitchen but if the kitchen is the first thing that a customer is going to see maybe you should be a little more welcoming. Just an observation.

    The pizza was good. I got a cheese pizza. It was big, greasy and flavorful. Nothing too memorable. I wish it had a little bit more sauce. The blonde cashier seemed very friendly and she promptly took our order.

    We stumbled across this place cause we doing errands in the area and we are SO glad we did!!!

    This is a cute little place serving up delicious tasty pizzas!!

    When we arrived we must have just beat the crowd cause after there was quite a bit of people who came in after us. The guy at the register was nice and friendly, he mentioned the best sellers are the pizzas or the sandwiches.

    We ordered the 2 slice, 1 drink special for $7 (cash price) and a 1 slice, salad, drink combination special for $6 (cash price).

    There's a counter area with a window that my kids were watching the guy make the pizzas. They thought it was petty cool! He was really kind to my kids who was being so curious and leaning over to see him work.

    Our food came out fast (which is good, cause we were hungry). It was hot and cheesy. The pizza sauce was tasty and the crust was warm, soft and crunchy!

    If you're in the area, I would highly recommend coming here!

    I was near and was craving pizza so stopped by.  I recently got back from New York and their margherita pizza was soo good that I am on a mission to find good NY pizza here in OC.  

    White pizza - I wanted a margherita style pizza.  I think I would of liked that more than white pizza.  I like red sauce on my pizza and this one has cheese instead. The tomatoes slices were too thick for me.  

    Pepperoni slice - they only have cheese or pepperoni to buy as slices.  I thought the pepperoni was pretty salty but it was after I ate the white pizza, so the subtleness of the white probably enhanced the saltiness.  

    I had to have a slice of the white pizza right after I got it, so I ate it in the car.  The bottom was crunchy how I liked it.  I couldn't wait to eat the rest at home.

    20 minutes later at home:  the pizza bottom crust is now soft!!! I tried to put it in the mini oven and broiled & toasted it for 10 minutes and the bottom was STILL SOFT!  I was so disappointed!

    If anyone knows how to reheat this pizza to make the bottom crunchy, please message me and tell me your secret because.... I... am... devastated! :(

    If I am ever in the area again, I will get the margherita pizza and eat it there.  No more bringing it home!!
