They make a GOOD pizza. Order Da Works. It's the best Supreme or fully loaded pizza I've had in a long time. I order it every time I'm there, because it's SO good.

Best pizza & cheese bread in town! Everything else we've tried is ok at best. Chairs & tables need a lot of work/updating. (We don't like sitting on duct tape.)

OPEN now:) I tried to get delivery but not setup yet. Anyways, their pizza still tastes the same just new management from what I understand. My go to pizza is Da Works which has peppers and just about everything like a combo. I also tried a taco pizza with a friend which has lettuce still crunchy and not soggy. Their wingless chicken is pretty good and the hot sauce is a good medium spice.
