Master Critic Review
Pro Shop Pizza Co
7.8
A newer, sports-leaning pizza-and-burger spot with late-night hours where the strongest play is one signature pizza plus one handheld, not a full sampler. It’s at its best when you treat it like a focused game-night order—pizza as the anchor, then one shareable side.
Must-Try Dishes:
Pro Shop Burger, Pepperoni & sausage pizza, French dip chips

Logistics & Planning

Weekday lunch: No wait typically (late-night focused spot)
Dietary Options
