So many pizza styles to choose from. We tried the thin and crispy artichoke cream sauce with the fried artichokes. Delicious. We also tried the build your own cast iron pizza with red sauce and sausage. It smelled great and tasted even better. It had a good amount of sauce and lots of sausage. I can't wait to try some of the other pizzas.

This pizza spot has everything you need. From slices to whole pies but I would most def include an appetizer like wings or garlic knots. They have a family friendly vibe with a lot of space to sit.

Life changing pizza! I've come here several times and just cannot get enough. The location is great and whenever I have friends or family come into town looking for pizza, I send them to Professor Pizza. You can't beat it.

Loved the vibe of the whole place to the story it shares and the friendly faces. The pizza was bomb! Got a half and half supreme which had the perfect balance of ricotta and hot honey. Also got the garlic knots but didn’t get a pic cause we inhaled them lol

Michael and Tony were amazing to work with for the catering for our event! They were patient, accommodating, and truly took the time to understand our needs and the needs of our guests. Their communication was consistent and transparent throughout the entire process. Most importantly, all of our guests loved the food! Long line for seconds. We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience and highly recommend them.

Absolutely loved our dinner here! We ordered the Pepperoni and a classic Margherita, and both were excellent . The sauce had the perfect balance of sweetness and acidity, and the cheese quality was top-notch. Quick service even on a busy Friday night. Highly recommend!

the Uncle Ronny slice was the absolute bomb! I love Italian beef sausage, pepperoni and gardinera on my pizza & they nailed it. The sauce was thick and a dark rich red just like the old country.
