The pizza is excellent. What really also stands out is their homemade spaghetti (yes they make it themselves) with some really large meatballs. Fantastic.

VEGETARIANS BEWARE!!!! READ TILL THE END IF YOU ARE THINKING OF GOING!!!!! HORRIBLE SERVICE!!!!! I don't know what kind of business these people are trying to run but they are defiantly not there for you as a customer!!! First we arrived and no one greeted us. My wife and I stood there for a few seconds as a couple waitresses walk past us and look at us. After feeling extremely awkward with everyone staring at us we decided to walk up to the register. We stood there a minute and a waitress walked up and asked if we had take out (one of the waitresses that looked at us stand at the entrance for a minute). After telling her no she said sit anywhere and walked off. We sat there a minute and she came back and took our order and walked off. We got our "salad" which was room temperature iceberg with a couple of pieces of tomato on top. After eating half of the salad (another waiter bused our table) we sat there for about 20-25 minutes and our food arrived. I orded chicken fettuccine alfredo $12.50 and my wife ordered their manicotti $11.00 (every Italian place gives you bread before the meal not them). My food was COLD and was very bland. No seasoning NOTHING! Just a piece of chicken on top of noodles and the alfredo sauce........ I would have been better off with getting it out of a jar!!! My whole meal tasted like it was a microwaved dinner.. and my wife's manicotti was so hot she couldn't eat it right away (not a problem).... BUT WHAT KIND OF ITALIAN PLACE PUTS TONS OF TINY PIECES OF SAUSAGE IN THEIR MARINARA SAUCE!!!!!!!!! She is vegetarian!!!!! It was not on the menu anywhere that they put meat in their sauce and we were never told there was meat in their sauce or that they had sauce options. After she pushed her plate away the waitress came up to check on us. We told her that she couldn't eat her meal because of the tiny pieces of sausage and she offered us a "credit" for our next visit...... we aren't even from Colorado!!!!!! After telling her we were from out of town she said and I quote "I'm sorry" and WALKED OFF!!!!!!!! We sat there for 15-20 minutes NOT EATING with our plates push away and she never came back. The restaurant was not busy might I add!! I finally got irritated and we got up and walked up to the register so we could leave (still hungry). The guy at the register was extremely RUDE! We told him there was meat in their sauce and we weren't told and he argued with us and instead of apologizing or offering some sort of compensation or to talk to a manager. He got defensive and continued to argue with us and back talk us(I've never been back talked by anyone at a restaurant). He acted like I was personally attacking him. And basically pushed us out by trying to charge us as quickly as possible saying things like "well this is how we do it". We've ate at tons of italian restaurants and NONE of them put meat in their sauce especially tiny pieces you can hardly see and if they do IT IS INDICATED ON THE MENU!!!! While talking to him I took a glance in the kitchen since it was open for people to see..... I was instantly disgusted.... I can't even describe how gross the cooks in there looked..... no gloves or sanitation concerns....... I understand that most people only write a review if it was horrible or really great. My wife and I work in retail and have managed companies we believe that customer reviews and word of mouth are what make a company or establishment so we try to always do the surveys and questionnaires to help out the employees and the companies. THIS PLACE IS THE WORST PLACE I HAVE EVER BEEN TO IN MY LIFE HANDS DOWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Might I add we are in Colorado for our honeymoon came into town for one day and decided to have "Italian" what a joke!!! and if someone from that restaurant is reading this.... thanks for making this a memory we won't forget............ sadly

Awesomed Original Italian style pizza and the Rest of the menu is great as well
