The crust was pretty good for thin crust, and the garlic sauce was yummy. Not as good as Domino's . I wasn't going to come back since I'm hardly ever in the area but I thought I should give them a second chance. Couldn't go full Italian without trying the pasta. Their pastas didn't look too inspiring to me. Just your typical alfredo, marinara, pesto, or wine sauces. Lacking in creativity in my opinion. I just tried the cheese ravioli with ...
