My favourite spot in town for the best pizza, pistachio filled croissant & affogato! Great spot for a stop during a biking journey through town, for a quick business meeting or even to impress a date! Variety of pizza selection, cannot go wrong with any choice. Staff is always friendly & go the extra mile for their clients. One great example I experienced, I ordered an affogato. To my approved request, I had it customized to be served on a flavourful gelato of my choice & to top it up with a shot of Bailey's! Their quality of coffee is amongst the best in town as well! Looking forward to my next visit, as usual! Thank you for the delightful experiences!

La pizza était super bonne! La croûte était croustillante & moelleuse, il y avait beaucoup de sauce, c'était super! Malheureusement, je n'ai pas vécu la même expérience avec le beigne. J'ai trouvé celui-ci beaucoup trop huileux. J'avais l'impression de croquer dans une éponge d'huile. C'est tout ce que je vais dire dessus. C'est très petit comme endroit, alors les tables semblent plus service de place pour attendre sa commande que pour manger. Finalement, ils m'ont dit que ma commande allait prendre 15 minutes, alors que cela a pris le double. J'avais bien faim😆 Je ne recommande pas cet endroit pour les étudiants, car je trouve cela un peu cher.

The pizza is great, but now it's way too expensive. 55$ for a large pepperoni pizza, it was 43$ 6 months ago. There's good & cheaper around there.

Super bonne pizza aux patates & incroyable focaccia à la mortadelle. Je conseille le beignet fourré à la crème de pistache : on sent bien le goût & c'est presque addictif ! Jolie deco en + de cela & un accueil très chaleureux. Je recommande !

I bought into the hype surrounding this place . The cheese pull pictures & videos online etc etc . What I got was an expensive , dry, tasteless pizza that was 90% bread & very little toppings . Large portions of the crust were burned too The pepperoni pizza was decent but that potato pizza was a huge let down . At $90 for 2 pizzas that you could find something similar at a bakery for less than half the price I won't be finding my way back here or recommending it to anyone .
