The garlic chicken pizza was tasty, but the Fettuccine Alfredo wasn’t what I expected. The staff were friendly and helpful, but service was a bit slow since only two people were working. Overall, the food was decent.

So. Bad. My dad and I split a honey pepperoni and a chicken pesto. The pepperoni would have been fine except it was DRENCHED in honey so it was ruined. The chicken pesto was akin to a Mediterranean wrap- the chicken was in large strips and was bland - it could have been chicken strips from a pre-cooked chicken strip bag in a grocery store freezer section. Same with the crust of both pizzas - it was like cardboard just like a grocery store freezer crust. The pesto was the only fine thing on the pizza because they used sandwhich tomato slices! Not cherry tomatoes. What is the point? They have zero flavor and cooking them does nothing. Also very very bad service. The waiters were nice but we were waiting to be seated in the empty restaurant for like 15 min and while we were eating we saw othe

Came in for lunch with family. There were two tables with patrons when we got there but then got busy within 15 mins. Unfortunately, only one server and one person manning the bar. Server was quite good but with the lunch surge, most of the food came close to room temp. Food was good but definitely could have been better served hot I don't fault the server as she tried her best to run the floor. Should really have someone bussing and helping bring food out at the very least if only one server working the floor. Would recommend "the pig" if you like a lot of meat on your pizza. The Nashville hot chicken sandwich was good. Ribs were "ok", again warm, not hot. The Sampson burger with the fried Mac and Cheese was actually quite delicious.

We drove two hours for my birthday, as a surprise from my girlfriend to spend time in the city and she had picked this restaurant and while our server was wonderful and very attentive, the overall experience was extremely disappointing. Partway through our meal, my girlfriend discovered a moth inside her ranch sauce while eating her pizza. She quietly called our server over (who handled the situation very respectfully), but when he tried to get help, it seemed like no one was paying much attention to him. Eventually, a manager came over, but his attitude was very nonchalant. He asked if there was a moth in the food, and when we said yes, he simply said he’d get a new pizza—no apology, no concern, and no empathy. It honestly felt like he didn’t want to be dealing with the situation at all.
