Every year we do a fundraiser and get pizza kits from penguin Pizza. The pizza kits are absolutely amazing everybody loves them. You get to make them at home with your family it's so much fun and absolutely delicious. Pamela was amazing and very helpful to set everything up and made sure we had everything we needed

First time here, it's a nice neighborhood bar atmosphere. Wheel of Fortune was playing on TV. The waitstaff was very attentive. Got buffalo wings and a large half/half buffalo chicken pizza / mushroom with mash potatoes pizza. The food was okay, I wasn't impressed. However, others thought it was standard. It works and does the job.

Best boneless Buffalo wings I've had in a very long time. All these pizza joints have the frozen flat fingers. Penguins are real tenders, super plump and phat. And price is great! I'll be going there weekly just for take out and again to hang out and have pizza at the bar. Beer selections very good. Some crazy OS beers that I hadn't seen in a long time (Rogue Dead Guy Ale, Old Speckle Hen) and they have Dragon Stout from Jamaica! Pizza was outstanding. Got the Diablo. Spicy but not overwhelming uncontrollable - "I'm a white guy that can't do spicy may have ibs".lol was perfect! Well balanced with flavor and hots. Love love. Bartender was very friendly and attentive. As was rest of the staff chipping in and working together. Love seeing that. Service Industry seemed to have lost that since 2020 debacle. Anyway, I'll def be back soon! Thank you!

Nice local place with a huge beer list, which I wish I could have sampled. Decent pizza, good price.

NBA games on tvs, great margarita buckets and pizza to go with. Each slice is two slices

I agree with the top reviewer who says that the place "Does a job" and is "Standard." This place isn't going to wave your flag, especially when there are other pizza and calzone shops 'round the way. I think their specials are great and I would definitely return for one of those instead of the standard fare. The chicken parm was low on the sauce and the parmesan but I am grateful for the fact that it got me through two work lunches as any calzone should. Fries seemed a little charred.

I've gotten food here by takeout, TooGoodToGo, and now dining in. Each time I was impressed (if not intimidated) by the portion sizes; don't balk at the 4-5 price tag on a "slice" of pizza, it's more like 3 slices. Service was quick and the staff have always been very pleasant!
