Pizza
Pizza is a famous Italian dish savored around the world. The entire credit for the popularity of Pizza in the United States goes to the chain of pizzerias all over the country. While the base and the texture of Pizza remains same across the globe, it's the toppings that differs from country to country. In the United States, you will find the top pizzerias serving pizzas with the toppings of mainly beef, bacon, chicken, ham, and sausage for the non-vegetarians. Other than these famous meat options, Pizzas with veg toppings such as mushrooms, pepperonis, garlic, tomatoes, spinach, etc. are also famous in most restaurants in the United States.
Irrespective of your locality, you will find a variety of different restaurants in your cities offering pizzas of all different types. Pizza is hot favorite among people of all ages in the United States. A large size pizza is enough to feed a family of 3 or 4 at large. Pizza is also the most preferred food whenever a group of friends is hanging out together. Pizza gained popularity in the United States after the American soldiers stationed in Italy returned from World War II.
Over the years, different pizzerias in the United States have developed their own respective regional variations. Pizza gained popularity as the iconic dish in the United States in the second half of the 20th century. Whether you prefer thin or thick crust pizza, you can find a pizza of your preference at the best pizza restaurants in your city.

The outside does look a bit run down and plopping down into a booth i might guess the interior might as old. We visited on a Thursday evening. A restaurant coupon burning a home in our pockets. Emily helped us right away. Appetizer of the nachos and another of the chips with cheese and bacon. Nachos "were not bad. Simple and good." Chips. "Warmed chips with bacon bits and to much salt. " Beers order and received quickly. He ordered the Tradesman burger. Came with a fried on top. He really liked it. I tried it as well and also like the flavor and thick patty. The waitress said she liked the cavatelli. I had that. A nice combo of noodles all baked up and layer of cheese. I thought was good. Too much food and have to take it home. So i think previous comments of bad service might have made them step it up. Emily Was great and they were 3 waitress and one bartender full. Getting out of there was a just a bit of a challenge. Just got busy and took a bit to get the check. Other than that it was alright.

The outside of the establishment looks old...and so does the inside haha. You can tell from the outdated decor they have not kept up with modern designs. You walk in and you'll seat yourself to a table, they have Tvs so you'll be able to catch your game. The server was very friendly and it was not busy, but service was on the slower side, but nothing terrible. Make sure you check out their daily specials to see if something sparks your interest. We ordered a speciality alcoholic beverage which I can't remember the name of, but it was very good! For the appetizer we had the Bbq wings which were a bit subpar in both taste and texture. We decided to get the Sunrise pizza? (breakfast pizza? Egg pizza?) I'm sorry I forgot the official item name. It was basically a pizza where they would replace the pizza sauce with eggs! It sounded amazing so we decided to give it a go, we got the eggs cooked easy. The pizza was good, initially. It was very new so it was good, the eggs were very easy in my opinion, the egg whites were basically raw and runny. After a few slices I had enough, this is where I regretted getting it easy, maybe ask for it medium or hard next time. Overall a descent experience, would definitely order other items in the future.

Food was good once we received it, Sevice was poor, overall not impressed as a place to go for lunch

Average bar food, but pretty incompetent staff. Two of our orders were incorrect and one was never recorded for the kitchen. Not sure if the problem was with the kitchen or the server. The response to these errors was to apologize and deduct nothing from our bill. Half full on a Monday and still making mistakes? I look forward to not returning. Thankfully, we were out the door before the live music started.

Came for lunch and left stuffed. The tenderloin was delicious (without the bourbon sauce). Loved the toasted bun. Husband got the Fontana and he was very impressed. It was huge. Don't bother with the cheese nuggets, they are expensive and not worth the price. Service was great.

The pizza is always good as well as the Cavatelli Casserole. Didn't care for the cheese nuggets and the price for them. There are better brands out there. Never had any problems with mixed drinks either and are reasonably priced.

Horrible service horrible food. Will never step foot in this place ever again. Terrible. I highly doubt of anyone even cares about pleasing the customer.

Have been here several times. Once they double charged us and it took over a week to fix. Another time the tops of the beer cans tasted funny (and smelled funny, like chemicals). It's always loud either from the sports on the tv, the karaoke, or the live music. Which is fine since it was expected. The seats & tables are in medium condition. We had a wobbly table once, we fixed it with a coaster. Their bloody mary's are delicious. They have specials every day. I love the buy one get one free pizza on Sunday. I've never had bad food here but it's never speedy. And, they charge 1-2$ more per drink here than any other bars in the area. They offer prizes on Karaoke night (Thursdays) if you sing. We've always had friendly service. My biggest complaint is they're a sports bar but were closed for the Super Bowl. Really annoying. Otherwise; overall great food, good drinks, loud, slow service, and not very clean (except the bathrooms).

I would give it zero stars if I could! Worst dining experience ever! We were so excited to go there and celebrate with dinner and a few cocktails after my son's game. At first the waitress was very friendly and it was busy so we weren't too focused on her inattentiveness. I also noticed the previous people left her a 30 cent tip. This should have been a clue. Big mistake on our part. No drink menus to be had and the waitress was clearly annoyed we planned on ordering food. We had to ask to have our dirty table, and by dirty I mean chunks of food from the previous patrons) washed three times (over the course of 30 minutes). We ordered two appetizers, only got one. It came out without the dip, no plates, no silverware. Of course our wait staff was gone for so long there was no chance to get any of these items (note: we were on the patio). I had to order my drink three times. My husband had to order his second drink twice. He never attempted to order a third as we knew it was hopeless. The food came out - still no silverware and only 3 of our 5 meals arrived. Thankfully the guy that brought it out (not our waitress) brought us silverware when he noticed the table situation. Several minutes later the other two dishes arrived. The prime rib sandwich was about 40% a hunk of fat and the food was cold. Not cold like it sat under the warmer - cold like it was never cooked. My fries were luke warm on the outside and ice cold on the inside. I pulled the prime rib off the bun (it was room temperature at best) and put it in the au jus sauce to "warm it up". Of course there was no one to complain to because our waitress was never around. The table next to ours finally left without paying their bill because they waited for it so long they were tired of waiting. Another table next to us had a similar experience trying to get their drinks and food. The remaining table next to us was piled up with dirty dishes the entire time we were there (more than an hour). I had intended on ordering more drinks but without any wait staff that really wasn't an option. When we finally got our bill the waitress paced around our table (yes the same woman that was previously no where to be found) until we paid and then immediately grabbed the bill from us and flipped it open to see how much her tip was. I always tip 20% (or more if it was excellent service). I tipped 5% and of course she was both shocked and offended. Normally I would say they were exceptionally busy and give them a break but nothing could excuse the obnoxious behavior of our waitress and the ice cold food. This used to be one of our favorite spots, but the last few times we have gone there it has gone increasingly downhill. We will NEVER go there again. We would have easily dropped another $100 in drinks and such, but clearly they weren't interested in our money. Our recommendation - take your money elsewhere - it is too hit or miss to waste your time there.

Decent sports bar place with the usual burgers, pizza, and apps. Nothing amazing but good solid burgers and beer.
