The restaurant was clean and cute, the staff were friendly. The food was ok, I wasn't a huge fan of pizza. The sauce and crust is A little bland. Salad and toasted ravioli were good and would go back to try other stuff if in the area again.
Best pizza in town. The Clown Special may be the best pizza ever! The service is excellent. And it's a very nice place for a good meal.
Found a gem in Desoto while staying at a resort. Great pizza and their fried mushrooms, yummy
Local owned pizza place. Very friendly. Super clean and great food. Toasted ravioli was very and the sauce was steaming hot. Perfect! Build your own pizza had generous toppings. Long distance from home but we'll be back!
This restaurant isn't just a pizza place, it's a staple in our community. My earliest memories include Pog's for weekend dinners. I actually worked there briefly and loved it! I highly recommend anything on the menu, it's all amazing!
Family owned, 3rd generation, with the original family recipes. I love that they also pay it forward by participating in the Gift-a-meal project.
