I order a pizza to go and it isn’t cut. Why?

We don’t cut to-go pizzas because it helps them travel better and makes them easier to reheat if desired. If you’d prefer that your to-go pie is cut into slices, we are happy to do that! Please indicate your preference when placing your order.

Do you offer delivery?

Not yet.

Can I bring my kids?

Yes! We have high chairs available to accommodate our smaller guests. Please note that we do not offer a separate kids’ menu.

Do you have gluten-free pizza?

Unfortunately we do not, but we are happy to guide gluten-intolerant guests through other options on our menu. For those with severe gluten allergies, please note that any food prepared in our kitchen may come into contact with trace amounts of gluten.
