This
restaurant is a add-on to Papa Juan's. In fact, it is housed within
the old restaurant, but its spun off as its own establishment. The
owner is trying to get his business ramped up. After purchasing a new
oven which cooks up to 900 degrees (ours was around 650), and a
classy pick-your-topping (like Subway) pizza line, the place
certainly has a unique appeal. They offered plenty of tables and
booths.

Final
Comments/Considerations:
This pizza was an improvement compared to our last visit when it was under Papa Juans kitchen. The unique order
method was coo l and trendy, but the overall pizza was average. For me, the
Bacon on the Chicken Bacon Ranch was awesome, followed up (with three
votes) was the Philly Cheesesteak. This was also another good tasting
pizza. On the pepperoni, I felt they should have stuck with a single
cheese and added more of it, instead of using a mix blend, with had
conflicting tastes. I also think they should increase the thickness
of their crust. All the pizzas were soggy in the middle.
