“ Had the best waitress ever. Kept drinks full even with a full restaurant. Food was fresh and hot. ”
“ Absolutely awesome, I eat there every time I'm back in town. ”
“ Laura was very professional yet friendly & pleasant to have for our server. She stayed on top of everything the whole time we were there. I'd recommend that anyone that has her for their server remember to be just as generous with tipping her or any server that is willing to make your evening a pleasant one no matter what. ”
“ Our first time eating at Grm City and the pizza was phenomenal! Hands down the best pizza in the tri-state area! The nostalgic feel of the dining area booths with jukeboxes added to the ambiance. We ordered a large, half All Meats and half Everything pizza. The dough, sauce, and even the sausage are all house made. The crust is thin, the way we like it. We won't be going anywhere else from now on! ”

“ Great local place. Service was great, people are very cheerful and friendly. Pizza was awsome (not overly greasy) (see picture) tasted as great as it looked. The salsa that came with the chips was awsome (the hot had a great kick) and the burrito my friend had he said great. Annnndd the value for the money was amazing. The place was packed on a Monday even (not overly packed though). I HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! TRY AND I HOPE YOU ENJOY ”
