I never heard of it before. I'm not much of a baker, but I'm one helluva woodworker, and I love good pizza. So if anybody wants it, it'll be about $1000 and 3 weeks out.
60-90 days?
Haha. Hopefully not, but if anybody could use it it'd probably be this place.

Just for contrast from another pizza place on the streetcar line...


From their FB page:
Very Important Pizza wrote:Hey Very Important People. We just passed 6 months of operating as a restaurant and I'd just like to extend a hearty thank you from us. We really appreciate it, and we really like makin ya food, and giving yall a space to have a nice time.
We've been reviewed on the Big Website nearly once a day, on average, since we opened and yalls approval is humbling. We don't take it for granted.
Ours wasn't a pre-existing brand, or name. Were not cashing in on clout, or viral exposure. Getting this many glowing reviews from people we don't know and had never heard of us before is for sure more support than we were expecting. We are just making something we really believe in, and opening the doors every day and hopin yall come thru. And ya keep comin thru. And we appreciate the absolute heck out of it.
Anyway thats all for now. Thanks so much. Ooh, and also try the meatball sub. Its crazy good.
Hope ya like it. See ya soon.

I will give them a shout out here, we have gone maybe half a dozen times and have really enjoyed what we have tried. They sell by slice and really 1-2 slices is plenty. Bonus after I think 9 pm they drop their prices substantially until close!

The ole 'clean out whats left before we throw it out' discount. Love a place that does that.

Big fan of this place. It's just around the corner from my office and we go once a week or so. I'm sure that having their own offstreet parking helps, but it's nice to see a success story that runs contrary to the narrative about streetcar construction making it impossible to run a business.
