    Service was fantastic! The gentleman who served us was great and nice to meet him. The meatball apps were amazing, they reminded me of my Italian grandmas. And the pizza was the best I’ve had in a long time. Will return for sure.

    I appreciate they were able to accommodate our large party. The hot honey pizza was delicious and is my new favorite pizza. The noise level was excellent allowing for enjoyable conversation.

    A random discovery that was a true delight! Absolutely delicious pizzas and a great antipasto plate. Good cocktails too! We’ll definitely go again.

    Really nice place and great pizza. Sat on the patio and it was just quite noisy with Diversey being such a busy road.

    Max & Issy’s overall was great! We got a Paddy for Daddy pizza (which is basically a meat lovers) and the antipasto for the appetizer. I will say the number 1 reason it was 4/5 stars instead of 5/5 is that the crust on the pizza was slightly charred, the antipasto was slightly overpriced for the amount of food we got, and the appetizer selection was on the smaller side. All in all though, a solid pick and a worthwhile visit!

    Had the cheese pizza (with granddaughter) and meatballs and both were great! Will come back again to try another pizza. Also had a couple of drinks and overall service was excellent.
