Three of us dined here on a Monday night for the "Margarita Pizza Special" for $10 with $1 per topping up to three toppings. I chose mushrooms and spinach as my toppings, but my pizza crust was too crisp and not very tasty. I'm so used to ordering the Fungi pizza that is excellent, so this was a disappointment. My husband thought his pizza was very good with the fennel sausage and a couple of other toppings. The fennel sausage gave it more flavor. My brother-in-law got anchovies on his pizza, and he enjoyed it. Adam took great care of us and recommended the Prosecco to me, which was dry and delicious. My husband enjoyed his red wine.
