"I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE- please get the Festive Salad next time you go. It is amazing. I have gotten it in the restaurant, as well as to go and it is ALWAYS fresh- always beautifully presented. Always consistent. The staff here is also wonderful. They are attentive, fast and extremely knowledgeable. The dining room is beautiful as well. Great atmosphere. Great wine, and awesome people 🙂"

"I love the wood fired pizza from here! The flavor is like no other. Is it the local hardwood, the dough, the oven temperature or the combo of flavors they've developed?? Whatever it is, it's crazy fantastic. Try the specials, they are insane! Did I mention it's thin and crunchy? "

"8 Fifty takes pizza to another level. You can always tell a great pizza by the crust and this is one crust you do not leave behind. In fact, everything they serve up is fabulous. The only problem I have here is holding myself back from eating too much. It is a small restaurant so you may have to wait, but it is well worth it. Quality is always consistent. Please be sure to support your restaurants the same as you did before this outbreak."
