Great Pizza place, go for the Pinza, it's like a pizza but different. The dough is easier to digest, its crispy and light. Battubelin Pinza is our favorite, but all is great. The outdoor seating is very charming with string lights and music.

Best Thai food in town. Its a little "hole" in the wall but defiantly a local favorite. The owners are Giuliano and his wife who is the main chef, the restaurant is named after their son Ricky. Its a family owned and operated, they close when they go on vacation. Their Tofu Basil (ask for extra crispy) is to die for, Cashew Chicken, Basil Duck and Chicken Red curry are staples in our home. Try them, you won't be disappointed. Due to COVID, take out only.
