This is the best pizza in LaSalle-Peru. You will be hard pressed to beat the prices (especially on Thursday nights - large 2 topping for $8.75). You may wait 40-50 minutes for a pizza, but I can assure you that it is worth it. The sauce to cheese ratio is perfect, and the sauce has a slice sweetness to it. The crust is nice and crisp on the outside, and soft and flaky on the inside. I recommend the sausage and jalapeño pizza. It is perfection.
