I wrote a 5 star review last year, I wish I could add another star! Just had their Margarita pizza tonight, OMG, so good! Don't waste your time or money on any other pizza. This pizza is above excellent! Everything is so fresh, yummy and perfect. The staff are all wonderful. Try it!

Love this place ! Everything I've tried and love. But I'm obsessed with their Beet salad

Service at PZA is always above & beyond! Pizza is always the best!! Missed the pizza cook Shawn tonight! He always greets us with a hello and big smile! We will definitely be back!

This place is amazing!!! I've been looking for a pizza spot the serves "real" pizza!!! The first time I came in and saw the brick over, I knew I found the right place!!!! Oh ya, the owner was pretty awesome too.

The Gluten Free pizza crust was really delicious and I had their pepperoni and sausage pizza. They have their GF pizza prepared on a separate surface, toppings only for GF pizza, change their gloves, clean their utensils, and separate oven. As a person with Celiac Disease-- their Gluten Free food is safe for person like me. They have gf bread options for sandwiches and appetizers. Definitely would come back again

Actually found them in DoorDash but decided we would rather try it in person, and so glad we did. These restaurant is on the smaller side, but we went on a Saturday night around 7 and we were seated quickly. They were busy the whole time, but service was phenomenal. They were so friendly and welcoming, checked often how we were doing and truly made you feel like they were happy to host you. I loved the way they interacted with their "regulars" and you could tell they care about their customers and what they are doing. The restaurant is clean, welcoming and the vibe is comfortable and like you're eating at a friends house. The food was great. We started with the potato skins and small Cesar salad, and ordered the BBQ pizza and pepperoni. Everything was flavorful, fresh and wonderfully cooked. The crust was crispy and held the toppings nicely, and the red sauce was delicious. We truly enjoyed our time there and can't wait to go back and try more delicious food. They have a great menu and it all sounds yummy. Stop in and give them a try, such a great place to have locally.

Little did this place know that on a Saturday afternoon we would drop a party of 17 on them. Not only that, they were short staffed and it was only the daughter (who turns out was the owner/chef) and mom holding the fort down. When you walk in there were tables for regular sized parties. Deceiving at first, but when you keep going further... gold mine! In a back room were several rows of long lengths of tables positioned family style for feasting. There was even a large TV playing football and money operated video games. So even with staffing shortage, we were able to still sit everyone down and order drinks from the front. The mom even came with some appetizers apologizing for the wait. I have to give it to this place because despite those obstacles they were turning and burning. Job well done guys!

Tuesday Prime Rib Special is BACK!! This prime rib is AMAZING!! We tried the Pretty Penne tonight and it was delicious. Usually we order the same pizza and Big Butte Meatballs but decided to try some pasta. It was delicious. They often have vegan cheese, gluten free pizza crust and bread. They have music nights, comedy, paint and sip... They even have retro video games while you are waiting for food. Come on out!!
