Chickie Pig's! The art of pizza is exemplified here, where a $12 gets you a million dollars worth of flavor.

Everything is home made with the freshest local ingredients from our 800 degree brick oven, right to your table. Every pie is made to order from hand rolled dough made ...

The brick-lined dining room with flaming orange walls seems to extend the earthstone oven where ovoid flatbreads are piled high with toppings and fired.

- Everything. Terrible atmosphere, terrible service, below average ...

This place has amazing pizzas! They are different, original and delicious. And not only that, but most importantly, the service is great and the owner is fantastic! He's the nicest person and he's increadibly passionate about his pizzas. My suggestion: don't even look at the menu and just hear him describe each pizza and how he makes it.. You'll want to order them all. I got a spicy virgin pizza ...
