I took my 4 kids after visiting the Farmers Market. The staff was very accommodating and treated my kids with the upmost respect. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The kids loved the Pepperoni pizza and we had to order a second one. I thoroughly enjoyed my glass of Riesling and Delux pizza. The spot is small but has an amazing vibe and is very peaceful with beautiful plants all around! Highly recommend!

Absolutely Delicious . Great ambience, get a reservation, try it all you will be taking it home. 1 pizza is enough for 2!

Great service and great pizza. I can only eat one piece because it is very rich but ohhhh very good!

I bet if we had time to wait for a table and eat in house my 4 would be a 5. But as it happens, we arrived around 7pm on a Friday night without reservations and couldn't wait the 45min for a table since we had our toddler with us. Instead we ordered pickup, I took my son home to do bedtime routine and my husband stayed local to pick up the food. We oredered the garlic knots and a margarita pizza. I hadn't checked any reviews before going so I wasn't sure what I was getting into. By the time it was ready (about 40 minutes) and brought home (another 10 minutes) it had already cooled a lot. The garlic knots were a 7.5/10. Would have loved MORE garlic and wish they were slightly buttery. I'd probably still order again. The pizza was a deep dish style square. I don't typically like deep dish but the crust wasn't too dense that it hurt to bite into the crust. The flavors were nice and seemed like everything was made from fresh ingredients. I'd give it an 8/10. I bet if we had tried it straight out of the oven, the score would increase. We didn't spend much time in the restaurant to get a feel one way or another but there were definitely parties of all types. Very welcoming atmosphere. We do have a lot of leftovers- sharing two slices between the 3 of us, leaving us very full.

Staff were nice and amazing pizza! Thick fluffy crust with crispy edges. Plus a good selection of craft beer. Would absolutely recommend checking it out.

Hands down the best pizza in the area, the reviews weren't kidding. We don't come to Portsmouth often but I'm so glad we decided to give this place a try. Living in Chesapeake the food options are mostly chain restaurants and we have been looking for a place where it feels like the owners and the cooks really care about their food. This was exactly that. You can tell the dough is homemade and the sauce is from scratch. The red sauce is sooooo yummy and the dough was perfectly chewy and crispy. We were about to leave when the bartender asked if we would like a peanut butter banana cannoli... and we obviously couldn't say no. We have a dog named Cannoli because we love them so much! It was a 10/10 and rivaled Mike's Pastry's from Boston. Definitely give this place a try, you will not regret it.

Waitress and host are both awesome - very friendly and welcoming! Our crab dip was delicious as an appetizer and plenty to share with each other. The pizza was awesome, as well. Lots of unique choices to choose from. Casual atmosphere with a full bar. Check them out!

Planned a visit to stop here after seeing a friend post about it a week prior. I had no expectations besides a good pie and that is what was received. Upon entering we were seated at the bar as it was busy due to the time frame we arrived at (during the High Street Festival). I found the pizza offerings (and names) interesting, which increased my excitement. The staff was naturally friendly and accommodating and eventually we decided to split a Walker Texas Rancher. This Detroit style pizza included Applewood smoked bacon, pepperoni, a house cheese blend, roasted jalapeno, pickled Fresno chilies, red sauce and spicy ranch. If you're a spicy girl like me, I would highly recommend this. I loved the Detroit style providing a great balance with the thick fluffy dough, crispy bottom and flavor punch from the toppings. At first the pizza price may be a bit shocking but keep in mind these pizzas are made to order with incredible ingredients and serve 1-3 people. The atmosphere is intimate but chill. I recommend this spot for a good lunch or dinner that's casual with a bit of sophistication. They also offer daily special pizzas and desserts. Absolutely cannot wait to come back and try something new.

While enjoying the farmers market a friend and I decided to give this place a try!! So glad we did! Very cute small restaurant with big flavor!! We were greeted and seated right away! I love that you can see the food being prepared! I decided to try the cheesey garlic bread I definitely recommend!! I also had a cocktail banana daiquiri another must have! My friend ordered the scallops. I told her they were gonna be phenomenal. Unfortunately I can't eat them, but they did look amazing and she said they were absolutely delicious. She also ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza. She said it was good. We are just not a fan of thick crust pizza , but all in all the food was very good. We would like to go back and we plan on going back to try a few other things. I will say that everything that came out of the kitchen looked amazing and people were talking about how good the food was.
