Pizza was delicious. Pepperoni with honey! Who knew it would taste soooo good! Hawaiian as delicious as always. Love thin crust!

Staff was friendly and food was good. I ordered online using the app. It was super easy. I did have to wait a few minutes when I picked it up, but they were busy and also training a new employee so I understood. The three guys working were very polite and let me know it would be a few more minutes before it was ready. Not a problem. They did a great job. I guess if I had to, I could complain about the case being empty because they were out of salads, sides, and cookie dough, but sometimes it's difficult to find the time to restock when it's that busy, so..

Quick and easy is sometimes what you need when you’re a busy mom. No line and prompt acknowledgement

I have been a customer since P.M.opened and I have been to dozens of different stores but I have to say the one in Crescent City CA is by far the best at making them and they are fast and are very friendly

Placed an order for 15 minutes after opening. Arrived early and was pleasantly surprised to have our order ready. The pizza looked amazing and was delicious.
