People flock here for the pizza, which is on the thinner side, except at the crust where the dough puffs up beautifully.

Order a whole pie or, if you plan on sampling other menu items as well, just grab a slice. Build your own pizza (of course you can add green chile) or try one of the established combinations like the Thai chicken pizza.
Calzones, Italian-style sandwiches, pasta, and salads are also on the menu.

Wash your food down with some craft beer.
