We ordered the Farmer Veggie slice and the Mushroom pizza slice for the table, and both were outstanding.

The veggies are fresh, the hummus is creamy and flavorful, the falafel is never dry, and the brisket practically melts in your mouth.

💬

Calm, had some tables (like 3) to sit and have your food there but not a restaurant meant to wine and dine you.

💬

So assuming in this small plaza. I usually go here and the X-Press dry cleaners next door once a week.
