Ordered 4 pizzas a Sucuk pide and a side of chips. Spent about $160 on all the food. Staff were friendly but had to repeat order twice over the phone with two diff people. Did not expect to spend that amount of money just on bread. The pizzas were doughy beyond belief and very thick. The toppings tasted and smelled stale and had a off putting taste to them, specifically the meat feast pizzas. The pizzas did not taste very nice and just had too much dough, not nice mouth feel and toppings. Just did not meet expectations. High price for less than mediocre meal. We ended up throwing most of the food out. I unfortunately do not recommend this place for food.
