i love coming here for lunch, it's extremely cheap. i am a student nearby this place, and my friends and i love to come here to have their fries. Amazing staff, they're extremely kind and are very caring.

When I was a kid/teenager, we would order the big slab party pizzas for every event they were possible I guess bordering on good.

The service here is always amazing and incredibly friendly. The party size pizza is the best bang for your buck. Every time I pick up pizza from here for a group, they rave about it, especially the sauce. After all, it is always the sauce that makes or breaks it. For a bigger order on a weekday, it is best to call ahead to place your order because of the school crowd at lunchtime.

The food is amazing great if you go to the high school across the street and come for lunch $8 for a poutine you wait a little more for a wrap

Delicious sub, perfect for a quick lunch while at work. Just a hot counter. No baked good. Will return to try the Veal Parm
