The core product offering spans pizzas (classic, specialty Italian-Mexican fusion, and cauliflower-crust variants), customizable pasta dishes (build-your-own and 14 prepared varieties), appetizers (antipasti, salads, carpaccio, soups), panini, chicken, risotto, seafood, hamburgers, meat entrées, desserts, and beverages.

The company has 11-50 employees, no disclosed funding, no parent company, no subsidiaries, no M&A activity, and no public financial reporting.
