The slices of pizza were huge and, unlike some places that serve pizza by the slice and the size of the slice is the only thing that stands out about the food, this pizza has lots of sauce and flavor and tastes freshly made! Something I have rarely experienced when I've had individual slices in the past. I stayed at the Radisson the night before and this restaurant is literally a few feet away from the entrance of the hotel and it's inexpensive so it's a no-brainer if you're looking for a quick bite while staying at the hotel. Near campus so I noticed the crowd was mainly younger people, all polite and respectful of other diners. I would definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area!

Came in just for a quick slice of pizza. The undercrust was crunchy but the rest of the pizza tasted like it had been made fresh. I have had bad experience at “by the slice” pizza places before, but I could not tell the difference here. VERY GOOD slice of pizza! And a fantastic price too. Well done.

I got a grilled chicken alfredo from here and was wowed by how much food I got for the amount I paid. as a student with limited budget, this is especially important to me! there were plenty of chicken chunks and the whole thing tasted pretty great. it also helps that the manager was really nice! my only regret is that I didn’t try this place out sooner since this is my last semester at USC.

Pizza: Got the BBQ chicken and the Pepperoni slices. Good undercrisp and good flavor. Salad: House salad is decent size for a single serving. Spring mix with red onion, cucumber, and cherry tomatoes with ranch dressing. BBQ Wings: Maybe a little too much BBQ sauce for my liking, but had a good crunch, good flavor and was piping hot from the oven. Drink: Small fountain with only a few options in a 20oz. clear cup. Service: Cashier was quiet and was only there to take our order. Other people there were decked out in their USC apparel. Atmosphere: Given that the restaurant is connected to the USC hotel, and directly across from USC itself, there are tons of USC pictures and decorations. There are plenty of seats, and even have a shuffle board game. Food: 4 out of 5 stars Service: 3 out of 5 stars Atmosphere: 5 out of 5 stars
