Why did we wait so long to go there? Anything you order will be melt in your mouth great. You should hope they have some of their key lime pie. Guard it well until it’s gone. No, seriously.

Their pizzas are very good, prices are reasonable, it’s ten minutes away, close to Lookout Mountain activities, across the street from the Incline Railway, (name another pizza place that can say that), and a great stop on the way back from downtown. The staff are friendly and professional because Tyler is a good person to work for. I know because I worked with him over 30 years ago when we were both just scrappy kids.
