“ Food is great! Service is even better! Ask for Jennifer, she knows everything! Tuxedo moose cake dessert is so delicious! Ambiance was so adorable. ”
“ Cute, quaint and oh so good! Don't be fooled by location. This is a go to place for many locals. The food is great. The atmosphere is quiet and reserve. The pizza crust is probably some of the best in town. Pizza toppings are evenly distributed and not just thrown on the pie (see picture). Perfect place to start a 'dinner and a movie' date, with a theater next door. Eat inside or out. HINT: Sitting toward the rear is better for an intimate setting. Why? The pizza is so good, the front is bustling with people coming in to pickup their hot, carry out pizzas! Look for coupons in local papers. ”
“ I travel a lot for work and the best part is finding places like this. I came in to do some computer work and had a beer and some bruschetta, and the bruschetta was so good I had to rethink my strategy and ask for the food menu back. Definitely pop on through here if you get the chance ”
“ Ordered a large Pepperoni and Sausage Pizza. Pizza was excellent, I love how the sausage it is ground up in small pieces. My Mom and I try a new pizza place every week check out our video of the Pizza on Tick Tok we ate it too fast sorry for not taking a picture first. CJPIZZA on ticktok has the video ”
“ Food was delicious- I ordered chicken parmigiana with penne. Came out nice and hot. Flavorful! The garlic knots were amazing and the fried calamari was sooooooo good! Service was on point! Such a cozy and cute little restaurant. Looking forward to coming back! ”
“ Alissa was fantastic. We go here all the time but she sold me on the seafood special tonight and loved it. Could have had a little less sauce but other than that I thought it was great. Ever since we found this place we come here all the time. It’s become a favorite spot for a nice dinner. Plus, they have some great wines too! Everyone is super friendly and it’s a nice environment. Loved it as always. ”
“ Me and my best friend stumbled upon this restaurant when we were freshman’s in high school and decided together that this was the best place to be. It feels like home the service, the atmosphere and food is absolutely amazing. We’re now 21 and still come back. This place made me fall in love with everything that’s related to it and I love it. 100% recommend coming here. (And our server Jennifer is amazing) ”
“ Went to Mangia today for lunch, as usual everything was cooked to perfection. Had a few clients in town and they enjoyed it as well. Recently the owners have added a few new desserts, the one I had today is called a Bambaloni. This was new to me because from my understanding the bun is a specialty product from Italian combined with Theresa’s homemade cannoli cream injected into the inside made this tasty dessert to die for. ”
