Bomb-as pizzas. Had the Pepperoni and the Birria Lamb. 10/10. Probably the first time I've thought that there was too much topping for a pizza (a very good thing). Jam-packed with the good stuff. Will 100% be back for more.

Just had the lamb birria pocket pizza. It was delicious. I'm not a huge fan of lamb but this changed my mind. The owner is very kind and attentive to what the customer would like. Definitely would get again.

Seriously good pizza. The price might throw you off slightly but it is absolutely loaded. We had half each and are full. A tiny pocket pizza place, tucked out of sight, but one bite in, and wow, everything's right.
