Was in town for the weekend. First night we ordered meals. All were underwhelming. Okay, but nothing to write home about. The lasagna I ordered was about equivalent to what I’d expect from a frozen one with a better sauce. The garlic bread was a sub roll with some garlic butter and the bread sticks were honestly the best part with the sauce. Second night, we noticed the first night they had but 1 get one free pizza. These things look great! I haven’t tasted them yet because I’m not hungry yet, but they have that perfectly browned spots on the cheese where they’re cooked just long enough and given the bread sticks the dough and the sauce from last night I’m expecting good things. The chicken wings last night left some to be desired. The skin wasn’t browned, but they were properly cooked. A lack of options for sauces was disappointing. The meatball sub was disappointing in every way. Size and flavor were underwhelming.
