Their perfectly baked pizza crusts are fragrant like no other because they are baked in coal ovens and their fresh toppings, melting cheeses and tangy sauces makes this pizzeria the mecca for all pizza lovers. Enjoy a slice of heaven at Lombardi's Pizzeria.

La Mela

The motto of this restaurant is pretty straightforward: sit down, eat and shut up! The dining experience is pretty unique offering two menu options, a family style menu including a variety of foods for those who desire trying a large array of food at once, or an a la carte ordering option for those who like to hand pick and personally choose their food options. The restaurant is characterized by a large plasma screen television in each room so all guests get a chance of seeing themselves featured on T.V.
