Hey there! Just wanted to share my recent experience ordering a pizza from the restaurant next door to Ambitious Ales. I love how convenient it was to scan the QR code on the table and place my order online. I went for the 16" Cheese Pizza with extra cheese, Italian sausage, pineapple, mushrooms, and red bell peppers. The New York style pizza was the perfect size for our group of four for lunch. I really appreciated that the toppings were priced accordingly, so you only pay for what you actually order. Plus, being able to customize each half of the pizza was a nice touch. The extra cheese didn't stand out much, but that's okay. I also tried the Small Caesar Salad, which was fresh but pretty standard. It was basically just romaine lettuce with Parmesan cheese, croutons, and dressing. I'd say you can skip this next time. Overall, I had a great experience and would definitely recommend giving this place a try for some delicious pizza. Enjoy!

I recently tried the gluten-free pepperoni pizza at this restaurant and I have to say, it was absolutely delicious! The hot honey drizzle added the perfect touch of sweetness to balance out the flavors. Unlike other popular pizza places in the area, this one wasn't overly oily, which I really appreciated. I was on the hunt for the best pizza in town, and I think I've found it here. I do recommend ordering ahead of time as they can take a while to prepare your order, but trust me, the wait is worth it. The sweetness from the hot honey wasn't overwhelming at all, just the right amount to enhance the taste. We decided to get our pizza to go, and when we reheated it in the oven at home, it was just as delicious as when we first got it. The dough was perfectly chewy and soft, and I already can't wait to go back for more. I highly recommend giving this pizza a try!

Hey there! Let me tell you about my recent visit to Thunderbolt Pizza. As soon as I walked in, I felt like I had found a hidden gem in my neighborhood. The ambiance is cozy and inviting, whether you choose to sit outside on the patio or inside near the bustling brick oven. I had the pleasure of chatting with the owner, who was so friendly and welcoming. He mentioned that this time of year is their busiest, and I can see why. Who wants to cook during the holidays when you can have amazing pizza like this? He takes pride in serving top-notch quality pizza, and it definitely shows in every bite. Even though the restaurant is on the smaller side, the food and service are top-notch. The pizzas are hot, fresh, and incredibly delicious. The staff is attentive and kind, making the whole experience even better. Thunderbolt Pizza is a must-visit if you're in the area and craving great pizza in a warm and community-friendly setting. Trust me, you won't be disappointed!

I recently had the pleasure of rediscovering this gem of a pizza place after years away, and I'm happy to report that the pizza still hits the spot. Despite being in the midst of a challenging economic climate, the prices were surprisingly reasonable for such high-quality artisan pizza. I visited on a Thursday evening and found plenty of seating available, but I should note that this plaza can get quite busy, so you may need to be prepared to wait or find street parking. One neat thing I discovered is that you can also enjoy a beer from the nearby brewery with your pizza, which is a fantastic example of small businesses supporting each other. After a three-year hiatus, I revisited my old favorite, the Colpo Di Fulmine, and it did not disappoint. The texture was just right, the crust perfectly foldable, and the toppings well-balanced. I must say, this pizza truly stood the test of time. For those who aren't in the mood for pizza, there is an extensive menu of non-pizza items to choose from as well. I'm definitely looking forward to returning to try them out. Overall, this is a spot worth revisiting time and time again.

Hey there fellow foodies! Let me tell you about this gem of a restaurant I stumbled upon recently. I've actually been here twice in the span of a week, that's how much I enjoyed it! The first thing I noticed was their private parking lot and dog-friendly covered patio with heaters. Such a great touch! The first time I visited, I was greeted by a super friendly waitress who took care of us and even brought out a huge pitcher of water. We ordered two pizzas - one with pesto and chicken, and a margherita pizza. Both were absolutely delicious with perfectly cooked crusts from their wood fire oven. The service was top-notch. On my second visit with my family, we were taken care of by the lovely Emily. She was so welcoming and attentive, making our dining experience even more enjoyable. We ordered the NYC white pie, garlic knots, and mozzarella sticks, all of which were fantastic. The ranch and dipping sauce were homemade and delicious. I also appreciated the fast service both times I visited. Overall, the food, service, variety, dog-friendly policy, parking, and prices at this restaurant all receive 5 stars from me. The crust on their pizzas is cooked to perfection and their Brooklyn style is a must-try. I'll definitely be returning, especially if Emily is there to take care of us again. Can't wait to visit again soon!
