Inside Scoop
- Go earlier in the day for the full selection of pizza by the slice.
- The space can be tight, and it can get crowded, especially on weekends or during peak hours.
- Be prepared for potential wait times for tables, even with expanded seating.
- Delivery and takeout orders have a history of significant delays and cold food, so dining in is often a better experience.
- The online ordering system can be buggy and frustrating to use.
