“Authentic Italian American Pizza Joint. We got the Joes Special Pizza. It was loaded with toppings and cheese. Pepperoni was specifically good. Took half home, great cold or microwaved. The chicken wings were crispy and had great flavor.”
“A great family run restaurant. Ma and Pa Gallina are still there but the main man now is their son Dominic. Lovely US/Italian welcome. Great family cooking with a wide choice on the menu. The Stromboli special is lovely and so filling.”
