"We had (what I thought) was a complicated order- we needed pizza for 5 people, one person had 3 allergies & one person had 1 allergy. The employee on the phone didn't make it seem complicated at all- they had alternatives for everything & knew where their allergens were exactly. It was slightly more expensive than where we typically get pizza but it was worth it. The service was speedy & friendly- only 25 minutes on a Saturday night. Will definitely be ordering again!"
