In Short
Founded in Beverly Hills in 1985, these eateries with the trademark yellow, black and white color scheme have spread nationwide. The decor consists of simple wood and glass with roomy black leather booths. The thin-crust pizzas come with innovative toppings from Asia, Latin America and the Southwest; signature pizzas like the Original BBQ Chicken and Jamaican Jerk Chicken compete with old standbys like pepperoni and traditional cheese. Pastas, salads, soups and sandwiches round out the menu.

This used to be one of my favorite casual date spots, but lately it seems to be drawing a lot of families with kids. That, combined with the mall setting make it pretty noisy. However the food is spectacular if you can afford it, and overall it's still an enjoyable experience.

I realize that this is a restaurant in a mall, but it would be nice if you could "leave" the pace and noise of the mall to relax and calm down a bit. The food is good and there is a good variety of selections to choose from. The portions are good sized and the service was quick and friendly.

Better than most franchises, but still could be better for the $20 / head price. The pizza selection is not as good as a wood oven italian restaurant. The environment is rather cramped and overly bright. Neighbors can easily hear your conversation. It seems like a place for kids. The drink menu is better than the pizza menu with a wine list and the chocolate strawberry milkshake a delight.
