It's in the spot at Main and Allen Heights where the old Hungry Howies jumped ship and left their storefront.

Just tried it. It's amazing! Everything is fresh and made there. My daughter loves pinapple on her pizza, they actually used a fresh pineapple.

OH MY LORD...I'm so ashamed of creating this thread. We just got a pepperoni pizza and it was the WORST we've ever had.
Pre-baked crust (any fresh crust would give a little when you pick up a slice... this was rigid as a cracker), their menu boasts hand sliced pepperoni (NOT TRUE... it's fake processed itty bitty pepperoni that curls up and holds in all the grease), and the taste is greasy crap.
Betting $10 this place is gone by the new year...

Hmmmm...I like a crisp crust if it's like a woodfire type pizza. I'll try it out of course but I don't think you can beat Crazy Tomato for good take out pizza. How was it price wise? I haven't seen any advertising or menus.

Woodfire, this place is not. Imagine a thin, dense cracker that's been laying out for too long and winds up with a bit of a gooey surface from the sauce. That's what it tasted like.
They dont have a website. My husband actualy went up there to get a menu and we ordered via phone. They're boasting a large for $6.99, but extra toppings are $2.00 each. I'd stick with Crazy Tomato!
And we all got very sick last night from it... we're never trying it again.

Picked up a Crispy Prosciutto pizza the other night and I would have to say it was very good and fresh. Must try!

We may try it for our next pizza night. They have some interesting toppings from what I could tell from their facebook page.

We had it again last night for the 2nd time and like it alot. We had a large apple wood smoked bacon w/spinach and it was delicious. Each time they have asked if we wanted some fresh basil sprinkled on top and the fresh shredded cheese they give you on the side is good too. We also love the salad!

I wonder if this place is going to make it. Every time we order from there we feel like we're the only ones who patronize this place. The pizza is OK but the crust is a bit soft for my liking and I wish they had crumbled italian sausage. Last night while my husband was picking up our pizza the guy who works the front counter was dropping the f-bomb while having a discussion about his need for a haircut. Not very appropriate and I'm not sure if we'll go back again.

My husband had their pizza last fall when they catered for the Citizens Police Academy. He said the pizza was delicious! We still have to get their pizzas as a family so the rest of us can try it. He brought a menu home and their prices seem very reasonable too.

I went there last night and used Groupon. I was prepared to be disappointed from reading the reviews here, but was very pleasantly surprised. I thought the crust was good, the cheese was awesome, didn't taste like fake cheese. I liked the different options of toppings they had, service was fast and friendly. I'll go back.

If you haven't tried this place yet, you need to. This is definitely my favorite pizza place in Allen.
The ingredients are not the same 'truck delivered' that you see at most pizza places. I guess I would describe them as 'freshly prepared' ingredients. I had the meatball last night, and the onions, roasted bells, and sliced meatballs were very tasty and fresh.
Tony is also working on some new creations that he let me try. One word, BACON.
