Extensive menu with pizza, pasta, calzones, sandwiches, salads. We've had pizza delivered from the Hoover location and it was pretty good -- not the best in town, but much better than the chains.

The food here is above average. Driving by, it seems a little shady. When you walk in, there is a giant menu with a good selection of choices. You have to order and pay at the counter. Additionally, if you want a drink, you have to go to a separate register at the bar...kind of annoying.

The atmosphere is a little "cheezy" with colored lights etc. But there is plenty of outside seating on two separate patio areas, or you can sit inside.

Service is limited to bringing food to the table, thats about it. Nothing fancy. Things we have had here include the pizza, calzones, eggplant parmigiana, and cheezy bread. Everything has been reasonably good, although certainly not the best in the city.

My recommendation, if you want italian that is made fresh, for a low price, late at night, in a casual setting where you can sit outside....then this place is for you.

Very decent Italian food. Never had the pizza.

This is the best pizza I've had since I came back from Italy. I studied in Tuscany where pizza is a way of life for one year. When I came back from my year abroad I was unable to find anything like it... UNTIL NOW! I ordered the Tomato Basil 18 inch and it was perfection. The restaurant doesn't look like much but once you eat there you will see that the food speaks for itself. GO give it a try. You wont regret it.

The worst italian-american food I've ever had. No joke. Fun atmosphere though.
