This restaurant is located inside Burgerfein. It is a primarly burger joint with a separate add-on room for wood fired pizza. The room has about 9 4 person tables with 3 large TV's hanging up. There is a Order and pickup counter present to place your order. No booth seating, only tables. The drinks and bathrooms are located on the Burgerfein section of the restaurant. The staff was helpful and honest. One thing stood out, was there was no mention of tips, nor a tip on the receipt. Maybe they are mimicking Europe's style?

The Verdict

Sauce: The sauce had good consistency.
Cheese: Average.
Crust: The rim was chewy and the pizza was not bone crispy dry that you'd expect from stone fired pizza places. Great sunrise. This exceeded my expectations!
Toppings: The toppings quantity was average.

Final Comments/Considerations: For me, I preferred the slightly spicy pepperoni. The gyro didn't have enough meat on it, I wasn't a fan of the cream sauce pizzas. The buffalo chicken had a nice spicy zip to it! Overall this place impressed me, its reasonably priced and quick turnaround. I would give it a try.
