We had such a great experience here! The service was excellent, friendly, attentive, and quick to make things right when needed. We ordered the upside-down personal pan pizza with pepperoni, and it was absolutely delicious, crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor. The linguine with meatballs and marinara was also amazing, topped with creamy ricotta and fresh basil.

My husband and I went to Rustic Pizza on June 20 to watch a FIFA match. They were so accommodating. We watched were seated right in front of a TV. The service by Joshua was superb and we ordered coconut mojitos and beer to drink. We also had the Pork parmegiana, a 12 inch Margarita Pizza a and the Mussels with sausage, canellini beans and butter sauce. Everything was fresh, with lots of flavor. the crust of the pizza was crunchy snd baked to perfection.

Our host Violet was so sweet and professional! Our waitress Alexis was extremely sweet, attentive and very familiar with the menu items. The food was absolutely delicious. We also has the regular pie and some chicken tenders for the kidos. We will be back!

I picked up my food but the dining and bar area looked so cozy. Staff was very friendly but the mushroom royale with fresh papardelle was what made me stop and write a review. Delicious!! The fried polenta so good as always and it’s the first time I ordered the broccoli oreganato and it did not disappoint! Will be visiting again!
