I have been there twice Though the pizza was good itβs expensive @ $27-28 for a thin crust 12 inch. Its like a 5 star hotel restaurant price in a fast food like setting β¦
Chen Wei
The worst bread I have ever eaten in my life. Remember, not everything that is expensive tastes good. The bread was too thick.

Chanced upon this when in Kinex and bought the sourdough loaf. Just a simple toast in the oven and it tasted delicious! The crust was crispy and the centre soft and light. Price was reasonable too.
Amirah
The calzone was surprisingly nice, good portion for 1 person. Feta burek was nice and not oily. Tried the beef burek (big slice) previously, and it was oily. β¦
