Rudys! So much more than pizza as legendary as that is, and a perfect sit down or take out classic, with it all. Choices for everyone. Salmon, veggies, a Caesar, wine, and perfect service, in an awesome location and building. Nothing better in the middle of a week...or any day. Legendary, and will keep coming back.

Where the pizza is perfection and the pastas so good youll consider moving to Italy. Cozy, oldschool vibes with a modern twist. Service is fast, but not rushedjust like your wine should be. Pro tip the garlic knots could start a new religion.
