Ill never go in there again primarily because of the treatment. The gyro was good. The chicken was good and the veggies fresh. The slices were a little on the thin side. For the price, the sandwich could use more meat. There are some dishes on the menu with foreign names but no description. I didnt risk ordering them. I ordered a chicken gyro platter. I thought that soda came with the platter, just as the special they were offering that day did. The guy behind the register (possibly the owner) said it wasnt. So I said I just wanted water. My friend was paying. I was disappointed to see that he paid for bottled water when all I wanted was tap! As my friend placed my food on the table, 2 slices of onion, a piece of tomato, and an olive flew off the platter onto the banquette. I picked them up and went to the guy behind the register. I told him what happened. He stared at me. I asked if I could get a replacement, he hesitated like I was a burden. Still holding on to the veggies, which were soaked in oil and lemon, I asked him where I could trash them. He pointed to the trash can and the napkins. I told him he should clean the banquette because it is oily from the veggies that fell onto it. He stared at me as if I was talking to him in a strange language. I did get replacement veggies. When food spillage happens, restaurant owners/workers usually treat you far better than I was treated. They take responsibility for not placing the food securely within the dish and try to give you a little extra something and apologize. All I got from this guy was a silent treatment and the exact amount of veggies as a replacement.

PLEASES READ THE ENTIRE REVIEW AND SEE THE EDIT BELOW, WOULD GIVE 5 STARS NOW.********* I ordered a 18 inch pizza, and the whole order was terribly messed up. I got a12" instead!!! And the Cheesesteak was a 8 inch but only had about 2ounces of steak on it more lettuce and raw onions and one tomato slice cut in half!!! Ive never had raw onions with a Cheesesteak its always been cooked and the lettuce was on there you had more bread and lettuce and onions than anything one tomato slice!!! then I got an Italian cold-cut with everything. It was only 1 piece of ham, three pieces of salami and no capicola and no provolone cheese with a bunch of lettuce core, thivk raw onions again one tomato slice cut in half!!!

I never write reviews, but this really annoyed me. I called in first to ask a few questions about a meal I had before from here, it was brought to me by a customer at my place of work and I wasnt sure what it was so i called to try and figure it out. They were kind of short on the phone, but i brushed it off. later I went to pick up my food and was very confused about if i ordered the correct thing ( was also picking up for a co-worker), and the men at the counter were very rude and short with me and just blew me off. The food here is very good and Its a shame the service is just the opposite of that.

The food is a little expensive considering what it is... I have a hard time believing that a few pieces of bony chicken served on a bed of rice is worth $12. But at least it is tasty, I guess? The subs and sandwiches are all great, but this place sucks at fries. The pizza is my favorite. They will deliver beer to your house, which is something awesome that I have never seen before outside of NYC. Watch out for the older guy who sometimes works the register and phones on off-hours and days. Hes kinda mean and shows preference to regulars over new orderers.

Ive read the reviews - quit being so picky! If youre looking for foo-foo fancy, head over to Match Box on the pike. This place is great. Sure, the employees can be a bit gruff--they work at a pizza/sub shop--whaddyah expect?? The pizza is fantastic and they always have Blue Moon. Its no Continental (just down the street), but I think its great! (when you read my "Good" rating for the decor, keep in mind what youre dealing with here - a hole in the wall sub/pizza joint - its not some sit-down restaurant!).

I love this place and go at least weekly. Please ignore the review below -- the staff is more than friendly and the restaurant is very clean with great, affordable prices. I come here to pick up a 6-pack or bottle of wine just as often as I sit down to dinner here to enjoy the fantastic chicken souvlaki, chicken Parmesan, and cheap in-house beers ($3 each!). I recommend this place to anyone whos hungry or in need of a post-work drink!

Food : on my first visit I had the lamb kabob with rice...rice was over cooked but I love lamb so I let it slide however my second visit I got lamb sandwich ....my eyes coundnt believe it was sausage lamb sandwich ..it would be ok if they indicate the sausage part on the menu!!!! honeslty this place brings down all the great kabob places Customer service : bad. Cashier had a very nasty attitude for no apparent reason!

Pros: food is pretty good Cons: I ordered a pizza for delivery and it took more than an hour because they forgot to ask for my address The staff barely speak English, and often get orders and addresses wrong They are overpriced considering the quality of their service and food Honestly, just order from Dominos, itll be better food, get to your house in half the time, and will be just as expensive if not cheaper.

I have been going to this place for years, but something has changed. The food was a bit of a gamble, but its like they are finally sorting that out now. I always get the gyro, and on the weekends the chicken kabob. The service is a lot faster now and its seems like someone is actually paying attention to detail. Keep it up! Oh yeah and they deliver beer, how great is that :).

I love this place! They use fresh ingredient in their kabob.. so healthy and tasty. Portions are very generous and priced really good for the amount of food you get. They have great pizzas too. My favorite is their Delux pizza

This is the worst place to dine. I have been to this place several time but they never served me promptly. The price is so unfair!

Gyros are delicious. Pizza isnt exactly NY worthy but still delicious.
