Me and my husband really wanted to try a new place we hadn’t been before since moving to Florence from Hamilton, and we chose this place the other day, and we both loved what we got! We got the turkey club and the chicken salad. It’s exceptionally delicious. Totally worth the stop!Posted on Diana HuffmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! Best pizza I’ve had in the Bitterroot Valley in a very long time. Kudos to chef & staff 👏👏👏👏Posted on Mr SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Finally someone that does food right for a price I'm not unhappy with for the product... I think the price on the menu is less than what I would pay for the final product... The food is absolutely delicious here... The staff is super friendly and the food was super amazing...
