It appears to be an ordinary gas station, shelves stocked with chips and soft drinks. Keep walking, however, and you’ll discover a seating area with old-fashioned wooden tabletops, faded signage from yesteryear, and friendly staff eager to take your order.

You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu, but customers especially rave about the thin & crispy crust. It satisfies your textural needs without being too overpowering, allowing the delicious toppings to really shine through.

Another favorite is the taco pizza. With shredded lettuce, tomatoes, ground beef, cheese, salsa, and regrows beans, it’s a much less messy version of everyone’s favorite Tuesday night meal.
