    Fantastic authentic Italian pizza. Their crust reminded us of being in Florence. I would definitely eat here again. Service was at first a little slow to arrive, but once connected our server was attentive and professional. She should have not stood there staring at me while waiting for me to log in a tip however!! Minor detail but that is just not polite.

    I went to Sonny’s Pizza last night for their anniversary, and everything was amazing. The food was excellent, the service was warm and attentive, and the whole ambience made the night feel special. You can tell the team really cares about what they’re doing — from the pizza to the drinks to the energy in the room. It was busy because of the anniversary, but the staff still made everyone feel taken care of. Great food, great vibe, and a really fun place to spend the evening. Highly recommend Sonny’s Pizza.
