This place is good. If you are looking for a casual Italian place this is it. They were busy but we were seated and ordered right away. There was a little wait on our food, but worth it!

Good choice. One plus during the summer they are open on Sunday afternoons! We like Chef Supreme, Mama Mia and Chicken Alfredo. They offer a lunch pizza buffet during the week.

I don't know who gave this place a mere 1-STAR (without leaving a review, notably), but I can tell you that we just happened upon this lil' gem while we were visiting Branson. I can tell you that these guys know what they're doing. All the food we had was excellent, but the real standout was their wonderful dough. I asked the owner how long they proofed their dough, and they said that their recipe calls for at least 36 hours to develop the depth of flavor that is so obvious on first bite that you find yourself savoring every bite... but really looking forward to the springy, crisp on bottom, beautifully browned and blistered on top.



Top that beautiful crust with a fresh sauce made from crushed tomatoes and (mostly fresh) toppings and you've got some of the best pizza in this part of world. My only tiny, miniscule complaint was that their margherita pizza was made with dried basil instead of fresh. Yet, my Greek pizza had fresh baby spinach on it, which was delightful.



We finished off our meal with a fabulous chocolate layer cake (top with smooth chocolate ganache) made by a local bakery. This willingness to support other local businesses brought 'em all the way home to the star rating they earned and so richly deserve.

Had dinner with family (8 people) 10/21/11. Restaurant was very busy but Chef & his staff did a good job of serving patrons and turning tables. Supreme, Hawaiian & cheese pizzas were all delicious, as well as the salads. Good serving portions for $; you won't leave hungry.
