This place needs to be updated! This place has transformed from mediocre cafe, to thriving pizzeria! The atmosphere and service were great, but out of the two slices we bought, one of the undercarriages was completely burnt. The toppings on the sausage were tasty and well seasoned, and the pricing is reasonable.
