Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street parking only; manageable earlier in the evening but can get tight late at night on weekends.
Dress code: Trendy casual—jeans and a nice top are common; dressier groups won’t feel out of place.
Noise level: Loud—conversation is possible but you’ll be leaning in, especially as the night goes on.
Weekend wait: 30–60 minutes without a reservation during peak late-night hours
Weekday lunch: Not applicable—primarily an evening and late-night spot
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—vegetarian pies and customizable toppings make it workable.
Vegan options: Limited—possible with modified pies, but not a dedicated focus.
Gluten-free options: Limited—availability varies and cross-contamination is likely.
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Better for a casual, social first date than a quiet one—the energy is fun, but it’s loud and group-oriented.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes, especially earlier in the evening, but late weekend nights often mean a wait for larger groups.
Is it kid-friendly? Earlier hours can work for older kids, but late nights skew adult with higher volume and bar energy.
Best For
Better for: Groups that want pizza, cocktails, and a lively late-night atmosphere rather than a traditional pie-only stop.
Skip if: You’re looking for a quiet slice shop, budget pricing, or a food-first pizza experience without the bar scene.
