Great pizza- fresh items on the salad bar. DIL enjoyed her turkey sandwich. She remarked the bun was toasted and the meat was warm. Waitress checked often to see if our drinks needed refreshed. Grandson had the small cheese pizza and he devoured it- monumental as he barely eats enough to keep a bird alive. Said it was really good!
