"Horrible service and large gratuity charge"

Reviewed July 5, 2019

We made the mistake of coming here again. We had 4 adults and a few kids. We ordered 3 pizzas and water. We got charged almost $20 gratuity that they did not deserve. We had reservations but still had to wait 30 minutes to get the table, then took another 30 minutes to get our drink order. And never got a high chair for the baby. Then took another hour and a half to get the pizza. Waitress was extremely rude. Food wasn't worth the cost or the wait. This place got too popular for it's own good. Used to be a nice place to go but definitely not worth it anymore. I suggest splitting the check up if you have 5 or more people because they add on their own gratuity without telling you. We could have done separate checks and paid a lot less. We recommended this place to a lot of people in the past but definitely won't make that mistake again. Last time our experience was horrible and we thought they were just having a bad night but tonight proved this restaurant has just went downhill and they don't know how to run a business when it gets busy.

"Over rated"

Reviewed July 2, 2018

My family and I bought two pizzas Chicago style and salads to go. The salads were but the pizza had hardly no cheese, the sauce tasted like it came out of the can and was not very good if I had a choice to go there again I probably wouldn't
