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.

I had never been before, but saw a Great Lakes Brewing and pizza tasting event and couldn't pass it up. I was a little hesitant, because of the mix reviews on here. Oh and as someone else mentioned, parking is kind of a pain. It seems mostly 1-hour on its street. I parked maybe a little more than a block away on a 2-hour parking street. We felt bad because it was pretty dead, albeit it was about 3:45. The event started at 3. It started picking up when we were leaving around 5:30. It seemed like mostly families, which makes sense for its location and the small kids area to play in (which has a giant spaceship). For the pairing event, if you bought a pint of GLB beer, you'd get a free pizza sample. There were three pizza sample options, and my boyfriend and I tried two pieces - one was arugula something and the other the "Spicy Rita." We ended up ordering a Spicy Rita to split, as well as an order of macaroni and cheese. The prices are a little expensive, but the menu highlights all its locally sourced ingredients, which I really liked. It also has a lot of different options, including vegan pizza. The Spicy Rita, I loved. And their Firework sauce (a spicy marinara) will probably be my go-to for any future pizzas I order here. The macaroni and cheese was good, but felt it needed a little more. I added broccoli, but maybe a creamier sauce would be better, its mostly just melted cheese on top. It came with an herb breadstick - which you can order as an appetizer - and I will definitely get a full order next time, perfect crispy outside with soft inside. The only other thing was the crust - I enjoyed it, but needed a fork for most slices, as it tends to get too soft and everything slides off. I really didn't mind though, as I still loved the taste. Overall, I'm really glad that I came for the event. The GLB guy (who traveled from Cleveland) was friendly and informative. I liked being able to sample the pizza specials before choosing which to order, although that was only due to the event. I plan to come back again, and I hope they plan more events.

Super good pizza - took a little while to come out of the oven, but they were busy. My vegan slice also came out with cheese on it, but I was so hungry that I didn't send it back and just ate it. But truly, if a customer orders a vegan slice and then you realize it has cheese on it because you start with a cheese base - don't bring it out to them. Make it right.

Checked this place out because we had a $10 off coupon (City Tin). The interior reminded me of a slightly more upscale Noodles... fast casual plus, if you will (cringing that I just typed that). Service was adequate, house salad was good, pesto pizza was fine but not exceptional. It really does remind me of a sit-down Noodles, but swap the pasta for pizza. The menu is pretty diverse, with all your pizza staples (supreme, pepperoni) alongside the BBQ chicken, Greek, etc. If you're looking for ********AMAZING PIZZA*********** you need not visit The Roman Candle. If you're looking for an A-OK spot near the mall to grab dinner, and pizza strikes your fancy, this place is worth checking out.

Great pizza. Had garlic bread sticks also and those were great too. Nice thin crust pizza with a great tasting crust.
(5)Theresa S.
Fresh spinach salad with candied walnuts ... Yum! Grilled asparagus served hot and delicious!! Pizza was outstanding! Will definitely be coming back.
(5)Jamie H.
Picked up carry out pizza tonight. We got the bbq chicken pizza and garlic bread and it was great!! The staff was so friendly. The pizza was seriously delicious. The only issue was that they couldn't hear me on the phone. But they were friendly about it and thats an easy fix.
(5)Kirk E.
The name of the game is average. Average is the name of the game. The pizza is average. The service was average. The amount of toppings on the pizza was below average, but a high quality. Which, in my books, works out to average toppings. There were a lot of young kids there. Wouldn't drive out of my way for it. There was nothing bad about it, but nothing that great. Hence, average.
(3)Kevin B.
Great pizza, lots of topping options, fresh ingredients, order by the slice or pie... The Candlesticks are a treat -- cheese stuffed breadsticks that come pizza pie style. Add a nice selection of local beers and sodas and you have a great spot for dinner. Oh, and make sure your kids discover the rocket ship in the back.
(5)Grace E.
While visiting Milwaukee I stopped into the Roman candle. For pizza they offer small-12", medium-14", large-16" and by the slice-10". They have a couple other food options besides pizza such as fruit, salads and a couple other appetizers. Oh! And you can't forget about ice cream! I love the fact that they have root beer on tap and cream soda in bottles, also they have a couple local beers on draft. My server was named Karissa, she was very nice and made my experience really enjoyable!! She also was very knowledgable about the menu and helped my table with recommendations. Will be back!
(5)April K.
Enjoyed our lunch there very much! Their garlic sticks are light but chewy and served with a great marinara. The small house salad was quite large and had a ton of toppings with a very yummy balsamic dressing. We also thoroughly enjoyed our pizza - The Roman Candle. The sauce was spicy and the crust was perfect! Of course we couldn't pass up having some ice cream on our way out either!!
(4)Sarah K.
Toy Story's Pizza Shuttle in real life. I really enjoy the atmosphere and unique pizza options. There are endless possibilities and varieties when creating your pizza. GREAT customer service and overall experience.
(4)Daniel J.
Paid a visit to Roman candle pizza on a Friday night while visiting family from out of town. Instantly we were greeted by an esthetically pleasing establishment complete with retro-themed menus, furniture & decor. I was impressed by the pizza options and the beer and wine list was great too. We had the supreme and animal lovers pizza. Both were served fresh and hot. But, imagine trying to enjoy a pizza and Spotted Cow in a daycare playground. That's how I felt the whole time I was there. They advertise their happy hour and alcohol selection but they also have a play pit, complete with a giant rocket. And if you need to use the facilities, you must cross through the herds of children to get there. The food was decent, but my dining experience was quickly overshadowed by the screaming and crying. Not my idea of a relaxing evening w family.
(3)Layla B.
A unique pizza joint! Doesn't happen often, but when it does it sure is awesome. Really modern decor inside, and the place gets super busy around dinner time on weekends. Love that they have beer, wine and ice cream (gelato?). The prices are a tad on the high side for pizza. The Algo Malo (Alfredo, beets, walnuts, Gorgonzola, arugula) in a medium 14" will run you $22! The food is unique and the ingredients are fresh, so you get what you pay for. Honestly I've only ever tried the Algo Malo pizza, caprese salad and the tomato and cheese breadsticks. Both are always yummy. Their pizzas are so specialty that you'll be hard pressed to find a pizza exactly like the Algo Malo anywhere else! Get delivery; street parking in WFB is annoying. All in all, it's the kind of place I'd want to bring my mom to try some fancy and delicious pizza.

"A welcome sight in our neighborhood" said a friend who lives less than two blocks from this new restaurant. Whitefish Bay has been inundated with new restaurants lately and this newish pizzeria was much needed in this area. It's always to start a restaurant visit on a good note, and Roman Candle has that covered. We were just inside the door when a very enthusiastic employee greeted and seated us. The hour was Happy and $2 off any wine by the glass. And it was nice to see a wine selection beyond the standard house fare. A gluten free crust option is becoming increasingly popular, and Roman Candle has a great entry into this market. It's a light and crispy cracker type crust, very similar to those made by a local Pewaukee bakery. We inquired with our waitress but she was not sure as to their origin. My guest and I both choose to go with the GF nonetheless. On to the sauce. There is a choice of four; fireworks (plum tomato and chipotle, marinara, and sweet baby ray's bbq), as well as house. House is they way we both went. The plum and pear tomato blend was lightly seasoned and flavorful, very middle-of-the-road good. Rather than create my own I opted for the menu listed Greek set of toppings. Tangy tomatoes, green olives, a light sprinkling of spinach and Wisconsin feta all topped with the house blend and extremely fresh cheese blend made for a very good pie. Note that this local chain originated in Madison and sources from Southern Wisconsin vendors whenever possible. All in all a very tasty meal, with better than expected wine in nice surroundings.
(4)Basam A.
Pizza was pretty good, but nothing really spectacular. Kids loved the rocket ship in the back and I really liked the look of the place. All around I'd go again.
(4)Jamie K.
One of the best gluten free pizza places we've had in Arizona and Wisconsin. Local ingredients that weren't skimpy. Nice decor. If you are dairy free they substitute two rooms if you skip the cheese. Would recommend.
(5)Nancy R.
My third visit so time for an update. I am now hooked on the Vegan with cheese! I have stuck with the spicy fireworks sauce. I continue to love the pizza and the service. I agree that it can get quite noisy around the family dinner hour because there are a lot of kids. This is not a bad thing, just be aware...
(4)Rachael G.
If you have look at my past reviews, you will have seen I'm a huge fan of Ian's pizza and in particular, their vegan pizza. Roman Candle's vegan pizza was better. That's right, I will still love and visit Ian's, but Roman Candle put together a remarkably flavorful vegan pizza without cheese that had both me and my carnivorous boyfriend raving. To start, we ordered the spinach salad (sans cheese) and we both agreed the salad was delicious. The portion was more than adequate for the 2 of us and we each enjoyed 2 salad plates worth. I ordered a medium Vegan Destroyer with their spicy pizza sauce and it knocked my socks off! Spicy tomato sauce, green olives, basil, red pepper puree, and pine nuts a top a crispy crust and you got yourself a fantastic slice of pizza. We may have eaten the whole thing in 1 sitting, we just couldn't stop eating it! My boyfriend also tried a slice of a pizza called the professional. Chicken, bacon, feta, and jalapenos complemented this slice and he thoroughly enjoyed that as well. For 3 beers, a large salad, a slice of a specialty pizza, as well as a medium vegan pizza our total was just around 40. We both agreed we would be back to the Roman Candle for its addictive toppings and excellent service!
(5)Sadie T.
Very casual environment (think Noodles and Co with table service). Good for kids, or casual groups. The pizza was good. The Roman Candles (their cheese sticks) were AMAZING. Basically a white pizza cut into smaller pieces. It comes as a pizza. Absolutely delicious. Service was good, though she forgot to give us the boxed up left over roman candles. They have beer and wine. The wine pour was not generous, I would not bother ordering wine here again.
(4)Gabe M.
Very smooth experience picking up our pizza tonight given that they opened today. A true NY crust, very fresh toppings, and a wonderful sauce. It might be a little pricey but you get what you pay for. The staff was helpful and didn't seem overwhelmed by the chaos.
(4)Christopher H.
Big disappointment. Very overpriced and the quality and portions do not justify the price. Hour plus for delivery, 45 minutes for pickup. Decor is strip mall chic. Staff is new and untrained. I want to like it and I've tried it three times, but I give up. Sigh. I was hoping for good Za in the Bay.
(2)Jennifer A.
Roman Candle is a great addition to the area, esp. for families. Perfect place to meet other friends with kids, relaxed but fun atmosphere, lots of choices for kids and grown-ups, pizza and breadsticks were tasty, and ice cream was delish. Check it out and support this wonderful local business!
(5)Maria G.
We have been to Roman Candle several times and it is always a great experience. The pizza, salads and ice cream are great and the staff is always super friendly. Tonight we put them to the test when our whole soccer team stopped there for dinner sunday night. They were fantastic and we all had a great time. I really appreciated them being so accommodating. This is our preferred restaurant in WFB.
(4)April A.
OK food, horrible service! We walked in and were attacked by a 'hostess' who had a hard time telling us to pick a seat. Our waitress was horribly inattentive, she didn't refill our drinks. Tables that came in after us got their food first. Overall a poor experience. If you want to visit a restaurant filled with lazy, hipster servers, this is your place.
(2)Kelly B.
I agree with Nancy that it was a little confusing as to what to do when entering The Roman Candle. I would suggest even a little sign that says "Please Seat Yourself". We sat at a booth by the window and were given menus right away. They serve beer and wine as well as Sprecher and Coke products. There are other options other than pizza, but I obviously wanted to try the 'za. Our server was pretty good - friendly and attentive without being irritating. Then again it was 3:00 on a Saturday and there was one other table in there. I got a Greek Pizza which included spinach, olives, feta cheese and tomatoes. I opted for the firecracker sauce which was spicier, and added some sausage. I wish I would have paid more attention to the description and noticed that it called out GREEN olives - I assumed that the greek would have kalamatas. The sausage was a little too sweet for me, but it was nice that it was fresh. Nick built his own pizza with red onions, sausage, pepperoni and fresh basil. We both ordered smalls for ourselves. He finished his, and I brought half home for the next morning. Dare I say that it was better warmed up the next day? I have to agree with the masses that the crust just wasn't it for me. Seemed to have NO seasonings or flavor whatsoever. The thickness was good and the crispiness was good, but I ended up going up to the crust and stopping after a couple pieces - for touting it so much it really was quite bland. I love the marketing for this place, the retro vibe, the local affiliations, the relaxed atmosphere. I am not sure that I would go out of my way to come here when there are many phenomenal pizza places in the MKE area, but it was good.
(4)Craig K.
This was my first trip to Roman Candle. I used to live in the Whitefish Bay area, just here for a visit. I was pleasantly surprised with the nice interior as well as our waitress. It was a Wednesday afternoon it was rather quiet which helped. The Vegan Destroyer with a gluten free crust was simply one of the best pizzas I have ever had! It was cooked just a minute too long as the crust was a little burned, but still fantastic. My sister and mother said their bbq chicken pizza was one of the best they've ever had as well. I will be paying a visit to the Roman Candle whenever I get back to Wisconsin!
(5)Jules M.
I was surprised to see another pizza place in the area, but as my daughter said, it is different. We liked the atmosphere, light, bright, friendly and not cliche. They highlight all the locally sourced items (love that) on the menu. We saw lots of things we wanted to try but were there for a quick bite. We ordered a pesto pizza with chicken...and ate it faster than you can say roman candle. We also ordered the garlic bread. That was a very small serving and we wished for more. Our server was nice but we arrived just before it picked up and they were struggling to traction to the increase in patrons. Price was fine, expected. We will certainly go back and try other flavors. They will be in my top rotation for pizza along with Ian's and Lisa's.
(4)Danielle I.
Best pizza available in WhiteFish Bay glendale fox point area not best in the greater milwaukee region but it can hold its own. I will say they have a wicked spinach salad that i AM in love with. Seriously, i go there so often just to get that forget the pizza i want the good salad and great beer they have on tap in rotation. As for pizza i like the fireworks sauce though its not super "hot" and it would be a way distant cousin of a "firework" more like a "sparkler" i mean i like the sauce it just lacks the kapow. They do have a pretty amazing list of fresh veggies and other toppings for the pizza so theirs totes something for everyone. But hey its a bit pricey though so i mean you will definitely be paying a good $ for your pizza so make it count. Service is usually pretty quick and thats for delivery too though we have not really ordered a pizza during peak hours so it could vary. Overall they earned our business and we feel lucky to have them in our area.
(4)Kevin F.
Love Roman Candle's spicy sauce and the ppperperoni pizza. Nice to customize as well , never knew I loved basil that much. Fun atmosphere with ice cream and a cool decor.
(4)Emily S.
They must have figured out a lot of the kinks from when they first opened, because I had a great experience here! Our server, Brittany, was really helpful and attentive. The small garden salad I ordered was perfect and extremely fresh. The Greek pizza was wonderful as well. There was clearly a high quality of ingredients, and the fact that they use local foods is wonderful. It is a little confusing that you seat yourself and don't order at the counter since there is no host booth. This would be an easy fix with proper signage. The music is also way too loud in here for those dining in; the sound bounces off of everything since there isn't anything to absorb it. Turn down the music so your customers can have a conversation without yelling - that's the only complaint I have. Otherwise, great food and service!
(5)Eddie G.
Is that a ROCKET SHIP inside!!!!?!??? yes ...yes it is... Good pizza, great lunch specials. get the candle sticks! and you cant go wrong w the tiramasu for dessert .. place is good! service is always on point! Im always confused about their 'Animal Lover' slice, I ordered it one time thinking it was topped w all different meats, turns out, its a veggie slice, but still excellent!
(5)Sarah M.
I wanted to love it. The location is great. Awesome for kids and they have a cool activity kit they let kids use (brilliant) as well as the rocket ship but the pizza was mediocre at best.
(2)Sam D.
I wanted to love this place because of the location and the fact that they used local ingredients but I found otherwise... We ordered delivery- they were super speedy which was excellent and the pizza was still nice and hot, but it was super buttery and greasy and I had difficulty eating more than one slice. Average pizza, I was not blown away.
(3)Jason C.
I'm a bit indifferent to this place. It is good for the neighborhood, if you live there. The reason we stopped was we were in the neighborhood already, had a City Tin coupon, and felt like pizza. It has some really good things going on... good pizza, a nice beer selection, and cocktails. I wish I could comment on the cocktail quality, but just wanted a beer that night. The waitress was super-friendly. The only thing that scared me about going is that it is a pizza place in Whitefish Bay... i.e. families and kids. Luckily we got there just after the dinner crowd, so it was starting to empty out. As indicated by all the empty tables being covered in trash. I'm guessing that was just an anomaly as it was cleaned fairly soon after we got there. I'd go back next time the stars align (in the hood... want pizza).
(4)Kathleen R.
I will start this review off by saying that I walked in and dined in the restaurant. We were greeted promptly by a server and told to sit where ever we would like. It was a straightforward concept and no confusion was experienced. We were presented with drink and food menus. I was suprised to see not only a beer selection but also wine and small batch cocktails. Looks like someone is trying to appeal to the adults!! That is not something to be taken for granted in WFB. We ordered a salad to share and a medium pizza (lots of great selections on the menu for toppings). The food was very good and the service was excellent. For dessert we went with the flourless chocolate cake which was also fantastic. If the temperature had not been -15 we may have flirted with the idea of some ice cream. We will have to check that out on a follow up vist. I would recommend Roman Candle as a wonderful place to dine (can't speak to the carryout service). For the problems experienced in previous reviews, I would say that it might be working the kinks since it is a new restaurant. Big points for combining adult and child friendly into one. I will definitely be returning!
(4)David K.
I definitely enjoyed the pizza at the Roman candle. The only negative thing I can say about the place (and it's not really that negative) is that it took longer than expected for them to make 3 small pizzas, even though there were only 2 other tables occupied at the time we visited, on Monday evening around 7PM. All 3 pizzas were very different and perhaps I was just a little too hungry so the time seemed to drag on but eventually our pizzas came and I was impressed. The small pizzas were big enough that the three of us brought some leftovers home so even though it's called a "small", it's a decent size. Looks like they are doing some concrete work outside; hopefully in anticipation of a summer outdoor dining area which will be wonderful. I'll definitely be going back to the Roman Candle.
(4)Marvin M.
Pizza was excellent. Seriously. The pizza was excellent. Family friendly. Wine bottles 1/2 price on Tuesdays. Wait staff very friendly and knowledgable. Will be back. Great addition to The Bay.
(5)Beni H.
Not too shabby! Went to Roman Candle on a whim while out walking with my family on Sunday. It was about 3pm and the place was empty! We went to the counter and were seated right away. The menu was more extensive than I though and I was glad to see Spotted Cow on tap there. We ended up ordering a few slices of pizza (at $2.75 a slice you can't pass it up), half order of Mac and cheese and some beer. The order came out right away and the pizza was good, if you like a more New York style rather than Chicago you are in luck. The crust was thin and chewy, cheese was a house blend and it taste super fresh. The Mac and cheese left a little to be desired, my homemade version trumps this and it was expensive for half portion. If you charge about $5 for half a serving it should be tasty as balls...and this was just meh! Overall, this place isn't bad, I'd come here again but get dessert next time. It's cute, clean and very accessible. Give it a try!

Decided to be adventurous and try another local pizza place. The interior was a bit cookie cutter, but with bright colors and a retro/60s/golden space age feel to it. Reminded me of the inside of a Qdoba or Noodles chain restaurant. Here's what was unappealing: * Upon arrival, the inside of the restaurant was cooler than outside, but incredibly clammy/humid. * The booth seats were noticeably uncomfortable. * People bring their kids to this place like it's Chuck E. Cheese or something. There was a birthday party happening during the visit. Sure, fine, but be aware - this isn't quiet dining. * Our waitress made sure to announce to us that she was very new (2 weeks is new?) to serving and to please be patient with her... not sure if this is something you want to advertise, but she didn't do the greatest job. She forgot about waters we asked for, never checked back to ask us how it was... or maybe she did, but we were ready for the check at that point. They aren't understaffed at all, not sure what the issue is. Perhaps it is that they draw their labor from the local WFB pool of high schoolers? * The food... our pizza was average at best, I've had better at PIzza Hut to be honest. The outside was cooked enough, but the center of the pizza was so greasy the cheese was disintegrating. This could be from cheap cheese... or the oven not working well. Or it was undercooked. Frankly, I am surprised at the number of positive reviews this place has, but maybe more people than I thought like sh*tty pizza... In the end, we found ourselves wishing we had just gone to Zaffiros. That'd be my alternative suggestion to people wanting za. Their pizza is hands down some of the best in MKE. Their service is pretty decent as well. And it is the same price! We paid $22.26 for a greasy, goopy mess that made us both feel ill after the fact.

Yum, yum and yum! What a fun, festive new addition to the neighborhood...
(5)Giles G.
So we came with a group, bad idea, only two tables able to support more than four people. OK they serve beer and the pizza is pretty good but only if you can stand screaming children running around, the atmosphere actually reminds me of like a restaurant that you just order at the counter and leave,
(2)Kelsey S.
The food is good -- I'm just not sure it's so good that I'm eager to pay the prices. Unfortunately my darling husband is a super picky eater, so our pizzas are usually pretty simple. That being the case, cheesy garlic bread, a medium pepperoni pizza, and a few beers came to a little over $35. Admittedly, I'm in that stage of my late 20s where I'm perfectly happy with a cheap pizza and a 6-pack at home, but I can recognize that this pizza had good flavor and tasted fresh. I appreciate the number of items that are sourced out of Wisconsin and am happy to pay extra for that part. Service was also friendly and attentive. All in all, it's good for something different - I just hope to try one of their more unique pies in the future because the menu is pretty impressive.
(4)Scott H.
Very rude server. Bussed a nearby table and slammed the dishes so hard we thought they would break. Took our order and stopped about 25 minutes later. Careless unprofessional and rude Did I mention inattentive? Pizza slightly overdone. She was not the only one there with a bad attitude. Save your money and get better quality and service elsewhere. Did I mention rude? #failure
(1)Melanie B.
Im not sure why there are all these peeps hatin'. Roman Candle was a great pizza joint with local and fresh ingredients. Also, service was way above average. I will be back! We got the veggie candle, caprese salad and garlic bread... all amazing!! Go support local business!!
(4)Alissa T.
We will not return to the Roman Candle. I was surprised and a bit confused how the restaurant worked since the restaurant lacks a hostess booth. We walked up to the counter thinking that we needed to place our order there and then were offered a seat. The restaurant boasts about their crust, but it was one of the worst crusts I've had. A large sign on their menu brags about the crust as well as a sign on the menu and another on their website. The crust was just awful. It was soggy and the toppings slid right off the top. The crust's flavor was just average. I do like the idea that the restaurant uses local ingredients, but these ingredients did not make up for the bad crust. We also ordered the family sized Greek salad. I'm not sure I would call the serving size "family." It was a decent size for 2-3 people. Flavor was good, but not worth $8.99. We visited the Roman Candle because they had a City Tin coupon. Unlike many more "hipster" local restaurants featured in City Tins, the Roman Candle is more informal and more for families with kids. They have a kid play area which is nice for little ones, however, the restaurant was a bit noisy due to the kids playing. Food was ok, service was average; nothing made this place special.
(2)L R.
I miss NYC one slice less now! Pretty near perfect piping hot slice -fresh mushrooms n arugula. It's pizza. It's great. Fresh ingredients. and it's local. I support!
(5)Kate P.
Based on three carry out experiences. Pros: another local/regional food option in WFB. Serves alcohol. Use of empty storefront. Pizza. Location. Portions. Taste. Cons: price, phone wait for orders and not always hot pickup orders.
(3)Mike K.
First time customer. Very disappointed-crust was very soggy to the point where I fold it up and eat like a taco MP
(3)Elizabeth M.
When you walk in its very awkward. There is no host stand so like the other reviewers have said we thought we were supposed to order at the cashier. The host that did come up was very friendly and seated us right away. The service was pretty slow and we weren't greeted for about 5 minutes. After ordering our drinks it took about another 10 minutes to place our dinner and appetizer order. We waited for about 45 minutes to receive our pizza and had yet to receive our cheesy garlic bread appetizer. When we mentioned this our server said he would go get it right away. After a little more waiting we were given an order of plain garlic bread. The food was decent but not memorable and the service was average. The worst part of the experience was probably the atmosphere. It was very noisy and riddled with children and a play area. Had we known this we probably wouldn't have chosen to go here for a date night. The other annoying part was our server wouldn't give us back the original receipt that had a survey on the bottom. We will not be back.
