  Great new pizza place on Reservoir Ave.
  After reading some yelp reviews I decided to give this place a try and I am glad I did!
  Walked up to the counter to order and was greeted by Heidi.
  First impression, friendly and helpful. Good start.
  Ordered a small chicken buff-a-que calzone with blue cheese. DELICIOUS!!! sweet with a little kick. Perfect size for 2 people.
  Spoke with the owner, Sako....also a very friendly guy.
  I will definitely be returning soon to try some other food offerings.

  Ordered a spinach calzone (with black olives and cheese. They don't have any cheese except for a cheddar mozzarella blend, they don't even have them separate). So anyways I always get spinach calzones with mozzarella, anywhere we get
  Food from . Pretty standard right? Idk why it blew my mind that they have no other cheese to choose from except this blend. Lots of bread, not enough Spinach,
  Pretty bland.
  But, they were large and hot so that's always good right

  Finally got a chance to try this place Wednesday, about five months after it opened.  I drive by often, and watched the building, which was formerly a donut shop, undergo extensive renovations.
  
  My coworker John and I each ordered a small pizza, and called our order ahead so the food would be ready when we arrived.  There is plenty of parking, and the inside is bright and clean.  Owner and staff were very friendly, and our pizzas were ready upon our arrival.
  
  I ordered a small mushroom and pepperoni pizza, which was very good; I especially liked that they used fresh mushrooms, not canned mushrooms - it makes a huge difference in taste, texture and appearance.  Pepperoni was excellent also, and the pie was not greasy.  Another plus: the slices were easy to handle, and the toppings did not slide off the crust.  The only reason I did not give them 5 stars, though, was that I thought the crust was not on par with the rest of the pizza.  I prefer a more crispy crust.
  
  Everything else, though, was superb, from the cleanliness of the dining area and kitchen, to the excellent service.  Both an employee and owner asked how our pizzas were.  In fact, the young-ish man who I presumed was the owner or co-owner, even came out from the kitchen and engaged us in an interesting conversation.  As he pointed out, just because I didn't enjoy the crust as much as the rest of the pizza, doesn't mean it's a bad crust, because different people have different preferences.  Someone else might like a less crispy crust (and, another benefit to a less-crispy crust: their pizza would be ideal if you had to eat slices in the car, since it does not make a mess),
  
  Since I had the owner's ear, I asked why they didn't just knock the old building down and build from the ground-up, because they put a lot of effort into the long renovation.  As I suspected, it had a lot to do with zoning regulations, plus, it was less expensive to renovate the old structure, he said.  Apparently, the old donut shop (Donut Bazar) was a big haven for Keno players, because he said he has had several people ask if he's going to put a Keno screen in the pizza restaurant.
  
  My crust preferences notwithstanding, the pizza was very good, and I would definitely return to this restaurant for more of their pizza, or perhaps a calzone, which other reviews have said are excellent.

  This place expects you to fork
  Over alot of money for you
  To eat food they barely threw
  Together from a can or jar and
  Their freezer. Dont do it unless
  You like throwing your money
  Away to eat Garbage.
  My mouth has never been so
  Offended.
  I hope by reading this I have
  Saved many others the pain
  And disappointment that my
  Family and I endured.
