As a food reviewer at Res Menu, I was particularly enamored by their pizza offerings. Each slice is crafted with 100% Grande Mozzarella cheese, ensuring a luscious, melting experience that keeps you coming back for more. The menu boasts a variety of slices including:

  • Meat Lovers Slice: A carnivore's dream, topped with ham, beef, pepperoni, Italian sausage, and bacon. This robust slice packs a savory punch that delights the senses.

  • Bianca Slice: A creamy delight with ricotta and fresh garlic is a must for cheese aficionados.

Beyond pizza, the menu is enriched with homemade soups and sides that complement the main offerings perfectly. The two large Italian meatballs and generous sausage links are favorites among regulars, while the cannoli and tiramisu will satisfy your sweet tooth and round out your meal beautifully.
