Comments: The ingredients below are our typical choice. With the exception of the sausage and sometime we like to add tomato.  The reason for going with sausage this time was because we were told the Bella Via prepares their own.  There's nothing worse than flavorless sausage with gristle, which is so often the case. But this time we made a great choice. The sausage was exceptional!

This pizza had great flavor, however it could have used a little more sauce overall and the cheese wasn't spread evenly. The cheese issue caused a bit of a problem with the crust, because it didn't cook enough in those areas.

Oddly pizza is only on the lunch and carry out menus, but no worries, they are happy to serve pizza for dinner if you ask for it.


Our ingredients:
All Black Olive
1/2 Pepperoni
1/2 Sausage and onion
