  I went here twice this year in 2019. The first time I got a slice of buffalo chicken pizza and a corndog and they were ok not bad, but average. But the second time I went here I got the sausage calzone. I only had about half of it and it was so good!
  
  It's a nice fairly cozy place on the Atlantic City boardwalk. There are spots to sit both inside and outside (I prefer to be inside to eat because of the always-hungry seagulls).
  
  Will I go here again? Let's hope for next year!

  Had the lamb and beef gyro here. It was better than the chicken gyro which was super bland, but still not a real gyro. It was expensive at $8.99 with no drink or side. The gyro did not even have gyro meat, it was a ground meat style patty stuffed into the pita bread. They are ridiculously cheap as we had bought food for a large group at $90 and asked for some cups for water. By the way, it is a cash only restaurant. They only gave 2 cups of water and the rest they charged 50 cents for! Never in my life have I purchased non-bottled water before. The onion rings were not good. The batter was not tasty and the rings were a bit soggy. The cheese burgers were all right at best, the cheese was not good, you expect American cheese on a cheeseburger unless stated otherwise. Making things worse is when we asked for napkins we were given 4 measly ones. At least give an  appropriate amount of napkins or get better quality ones that don't get used up at one wipe. When my niece went to get more, she was only given 2! They had even run out of ketchup and we had to ask 3/4 times to have it refilled before it was done. Overall, they are not very customer service forward as they are looking to be cheap and save.  I would definitely avoid this establishment. Not a good experience.

  Walking the boardwalk decided to order 2 slices as I already had reservations for dinner for my sons birthday. I was on the outside counter as they told me to proceed inside, no worries but not one of the 5 associate on the outside explained to me it was cash only. I than ordered what we were having to be told it was cash only, thank god I had cash with me, but the laughter that came from the staff when I ordered from this eatery was definitely unwelcome and unnecessary. I get the fact they are young kids and so on, but not was I expecting with my kids. Shameful and disturbing

  It's great after you pull the hair out if the food caused by the guy literally fanning his face with the paper plates.  At least when the owner/manager comes out he stops.  But then it's just like a puzzle with the food.  Our current record is 8 hairs.

  Stopped by here since it was the closest pizza place to Bally's. Should've kept walking to the next place because the pizza was not worth the expensive price tag. I only got a plain slice of cheese and I thought it LOOKED good in the display, but in actuality there was nothing good about it. I'm not even sure how you can manage to make a bad plain cheese pizza (think cardboard box tasting pizza) -- but this place did it. The only positive thing I have to say is that it kind of filled me up..? At least the pieces of it I managed to eat. I donated the rest to the birds flying around the Boardwalk.
  
  If you're on the AC Boardwalk, skip out on this place and take your business elsewhere. There are plenty of other businesses that sell the same type of Boardwalk food.
