After hearing about this place I decided to finally give it a try. From the beginning you do have the old Me-n-Ed's vibe. The place was a blast from the past. Pizza was exactly like it use to be. The taste was not what i expected. I do wish there were more toppings. It was a bit skimpy. The service was excellent. I will go back and give it another try.

The pizza is good. It really has that no flop type of thing going and the flavors are good. All in all prob my favorite in town. Just don't mess up and get too many toppings and expect no flop though. It is impossible everywhere lol. The service is great and once again as fast as they can be. The place is actually very big too. Unfortunately seems like no one likes to eat out anymore so It's not as lively.

I would give this place 10 starts if I could. The service was great and the pizza was AMAZING. The crust was crispy, and it was some of the best pizza I've had in Fresno/Clovis. It's comparable to Me&Eds pizza. They make their crust fresh, and the ratios were perfect! I would 100000% come again and If you like the pizza from Me&Eds, you NEED to try this place!!

I came here on a weekday afternoon and had a very pleasant experience at this restaurant. I ordered garlic cheese bread, a meat veggie calzone, and a small pepperoni pineapple pizza. I came before lunch time and there is plenty of seating in the restaurant. I liked the array of options for pizza, calzones, and cheese bread. They also make chicken wings here where you can order the sauce on the side. I think Sam himself took my order and had a nice mustache. The food was freshly made as soon as I ordered and ready within 15 minutes. It was great to know that everything is made fresh. And it tasted fresh too. Crispy crust yet the dough was moist and the ingredients were also fresh. The meat and veggie calzone also had a large variety of meat and vegetables as well while the garlic cheese bread had plenty of cheese and garlic and packed with flavor. I also appreciated the tasty ranch and jalapeños you can purchase on the side for $0.50 each. As others have stated, the pizza here is similar to Me-N-Ed's without the long wait or crowds. And the seating here is plentiful. I would definitely return and love being able to support a small business by purchasing quality food here. Delicious and quality food!

Upon walking in, we were greeted and was assisted in ordering. The area to sit and eat is very clean. There's a bar area. There are also claw machines, a basketball play machine , and an air hockey table. The girls and man explaining the prices for half and half combo large pizza was a little confusing because they charged a dollar for half and half and another dollar for white sauce. It was no big deal but kind of awkward. I've heard nothing but good reviews so we decided to try it out tonight.

Okay, for starters I have not been a pizza person in awhile but I am once again. My boyfriend picked up but said everyone was extremely friendly. Sorry there are pieces gone because he couldn't wait for me to take a picture. Pizzas were extremely packed with toppings. Toppings are FRESH! Definitely a must try place if you love Me & Ed's because it'll take you back to when you were a kid.
