Pizza tonight was spot on amazing as always. Ordered the Thunder Nut and added cream cheese. The salad was killer as usual, and the service is unmatched by any other place in town.

I have ordered pizza multiple times now. The pizza is great! Pete's makes the pie consistently the same, golden crust and cheese. I make a drive to pick up this pizza and it's well worth it!!

Cream cheese on a pizza.....Are ya nutz? Maybe, but it's awesome being a bit nutz Had a half Archie and half Funaro. Cream cheese with roasted red peppers and sausage all covered with gooey cheese for the Archie. And Funaro laden with amazing seasoned meatballs, I added jalapenos, and again, cheese. Is pizza cheese better than pumpkin spice? Duh. Always. Service is the best we've had in a long while. Pie master even came out razzing me for not knowing this delicious spot. Now we know and will return for many slices. Only bad part, KC rags hanging around, kinda ruins the decor.

This place is so good. Its a little hole in the wall pizza joint. The staff were all phenomenal and nice. They had a power outage that night and still kept smiling like nothing happened earlier. The atmosphere is unique. Lots of neat stuff on the walls. Its a small place not many tables. We had to wait so we just ordered a beer and stood and watched them make pizza and took in some free smells. When the time came we ordered the all meat and the streaker. My wife ordered a salad after seeing one go by piled high with cheese. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted great. Will definitely be back.

The pizza here was excellent! This was some of the best pizza I've had in a long time. The service was good & the place has a fun atmosphere. The only knock I have is we got a half supreme & half pepperoni pizza. They charged me for a full specially pizza which was fine but then added on a charge for splitting the pizza when there was only one topping on the other half of the pizza that basically had all the toppings including pepperoni. It's not enough to keep me from going back but it definitely was something that dragged down the experience.

Wow! Highly impressed with how awesome the staff is from start to finish! Everyone was so friendly and attentive! Especially for how busy they were! We got cheese bread and Italian sausage pepperoni pizza.!! The crust was so crispy and cooked perfectly. Everything was so delicious! Definitely worth the trip down south!

Found this place through reading reviews and was not let down. Cons - it is a small venue with about 10 tables and a few bar seats. Can get very noisy. Pros - Customer Service is top notch. Food is outstanding! We started out with their large salad, which is enough for four. The lettuce is fresh and crisp the mozzarella fresh and it is appropriately doused with the dressing of your choice, I recommend the creamy Italian. My wife and I ordered small pizzas as we both like different things and the leftovers are great reheated in a air-fryer. The crust is a nice crispy crackers style crust and complements the ingredients delightfully. The sauce has great flavor and adds a great flavor to the Pizza. We have been there a couple of times and will continue to return as this is one of our favorites at this point. Worth the travel but would recommend going early or late as they have a steady crowd and are always busy.
