I am surprised this restaurant hasn't been reviewed at all.  It's located in a sunken area of a parking lot behind a Gas station and is a little hard to find but well worth the trouble.  

Inside is a decor that you don't expect.  It feels like a 'Club' with some oil portraits on the rear wall and nicely done Bar and stage area.  They periodically host Comedy acts and I suspect music, although I only saw the Comedy shcedule.  Good drinks and several imports on tap.  

The food is outstanding.  Our first visit we ordered a half-Cuban ( $7.00  I think ) and a bowl of French Onion soup.  The Cuban was huge, very tasty and more than enough for one.  Soup was very good as well.  The couple next to us ordered A Pizza and we realized the next visit would be Pizza.

We returned yesterday and ordered a Pizza that is only on the Take out menu for some reason - Daviola.  Andouille sausage, pepperoni, mozzarella and we added Wilcox tomatos.  Wow!  Hands down the best Pizza I've had in years - anywhere.  The crust was hand made and very tasty, the sauce was not overpowering and I wish I could have eaten more.   I think there must be 40 listed specialty pizzas on the menu.  Many unusual combinations and all sound delicious.  

My only regret is this place is at least 10 miles from my house, however I think we'll go back for lunch today!
