I walked the 1/2 mile from truck stop to get a pizza. Well worth the walk. Pizza was great as was the service!!! As of June 1, 2025, only drive thru (walk up) window was open due to building damage from someone trying to park next to buffet line. Will definitely stop again next trip though

Some of the best pizza I have had in a long time. I had some domino's in tx that I did a review on. Pizza was so good I had 3 days in a row. And this place is just as good. I didn't pay for the pizza here but whatever the price it was worth it.

Family and I enjoyed the pizza and salad bar for lunch. No wait with friendly service. Great for us to quickly get off of and back onto the road trip. Prices were already fair to begin, but they also gave us a great military discount. I highly recommend you stop in for a bite!
