Customer Reviews

Walk in, seat yourself at a table or the bar. You won't regret it. The pizza is seriously delicious and the service is quick, efficient and welcoming. They were also willing to make a virgin bloody mary for my sober lady. The server even ran out after us when we forgot out leftovers due to indulging in the local "trappings" . Great local joint with a great atmosphere, genuinely good pizza and best of all, super affordable!

Probably the best crust on a pizza we've ever tasted, keep doing what you're doing! Was delighted to learn we could have our dogs with us, enjoyed a scenic view of the Rouge River on the patio over lunch.

Great local joint on the river. We had good service and excellent pizza and a Reuben dipper Stromboli style dish that was just out of this world. We'll definitely go back. Nice docks for the boaters too.
