We love the sushi, never had a bad experience. The brick oven pizza place was extremely disappointing. Expensive, but they have an extensive selection of gourmet pizzas, so you feel like it's justified. The atmosphere is absolutely beautiful for a date night or night out with the family. Tonight we spent $65 for two pizzas (online order for pickup). We live about 5 minutes away. The website said it would take 30-35 minutes. We got there 15 minutes early and noticed we had already gotten a text saying the order was ready. When we went in it was pretty dead and the cashier was talking with the one customer ahead of us. So, we waited.....and waited. Several other employees came out and looked at us and walked away. Others socialized. When we finally were handed our pizzas they were cold. The flavor was very bland....and when the main ingredients are green olives and bacon, that's saying a lot. The crust was extremely chewy, so either overworked or just cold or both. I'll give credit where it's due, and when we went there once before the pizzas were good, the service was good and it was super busy. Not sure I'll be ordering from them again. Not worth the $$$$ at least this time around.....and hold the tip until you get there and decide if the service is worth it.

Off the start, When arrived was greeted badly. Asked if we could dine in and was told yes. Sat down and looked at menu for about 25 minutes. Never got greeted by a server or anyone or even given drinks. Definitely not the experience I thought I was going to get.

We had the meat lovers pizza which is awesome. We get the large so we have enough for lunch the next day. Best pizza we've ever had. We've had the mango tango roll which is out of this world good. They have such a wide variety of great food but we seem to come back to the pizza. It's that good.

There where bugs everywhere, the man making the pizza in front of us for everyone to see wasn’t wearing gloves, and there was dirt on the bottom of our glasses. Call the health department ASAP.
