In Short – Among other restaurants along the lively Sheridan strip, this storefront draws attention for the smells alone. Faux terra cotta walls are as far as decoration goes in the tight dining room/kitchen. Six tables are usually packed with enthusiastic neighborhood dinners chowing on oven-fresh, square pizza with any combination of the dozen available toppings. Light salads, panini, and mix and match pasta and sauces flesh out the pizza-centered menu.

Nice BYOB, better pizza elsewhere
by carlson_b
Quaint place on the Sheridan BYOB stretch, not a big fan of the pizza though. The crust is very thick, was overcooked and bordering on burned around the edges, and COMPLETELY overpowered the toppings that were on the pizza. The crust had a very smoky flavor and was crunchy which just didn't work for me. It might be worth a second shot given that I live in the neighborhood but for now I still go to D.O.C. or others.
- Pros: Nice neighborhood space, BYOB
- Cons: Pizza isn't my favorite

The best thin crust in the city!
by chidudemusl
I have been to this place several times and my friends are impressed when I take them. They rave about the flavors of the food! Pasta is delicious and authentic. If you are into pizza that boasts a thin crust and crisp then you will love this. Comfort food on a very intimate scale (not a large place), but an outstanding value for your buck!
- Pros: great value
- Cons: can be a bit crowded since it is rather small

Great Pasta and Pizza!!
by pinksarapink
I love this place. It's small and quaint. The food is phenominal! It's real Italian food cooked by an Italian. My one and only complaint is that there is not enough wait waitstaff. There are only 2 waitresses and no bus boys. You generally have to wait a while for anything. But if you have an evening with time to spare this place is AWESOME!
- Pros: Great food and prices
- Cons: Small waitstaff
