Countryside Pizza Restaurant

Dear Customers, I want to tell you my experience with the owners of this restaurant. My son’s bus stop is at this restaurant because he goes to a magnet school. There have been a few incidents where he had to wait for us to pick him up from the bus stop after school because we were running late. One time he was sitting at the bench near the restaurant and he forgot to pick up his trash and the owners were angry about that which we totally understand. My son apologised for what he did and we also apologised on his behalf. Recently my son had a half day which we forgot to pick him up on time and again he had to wait at the bench at the restaurant outside. He left his school bag on the bench and we came home and the next day he was looking for his bag. He remembered that he left it at the bench at the restaurant and at the end of the day asked the restaurant owner if they found a bag on the bench. The owner was angry at him and said that he threw his bag in the dumpster and he can go check if it’s still there. We found his demeanour to be very rude and unprofessional as well as uncompassionate. We spoke to the owner and he told us next time we come to his restaurant property at the bus stop, he will call the cops. He said we are not allowed to be on this property even though we were told by the magnet school that it is a legitimate bus stop. We told him that it is not in our hands who decides where the bus stop for our son’s magnet school will be and we politely asked him not to start trouble with us. We don’t like to file complaints on businesses unless it is legit to do so. In this case we found it proper to post this complaint because we felt violated and threatened. We endured the whole experience of having our son’s school bag to be thrown in a dumpster to be highly barbaric and uncivilized by this restaurant owner.

This place is a hidden gem. I had the gyro, my dining partner had a chicken parm focaccia (made on their own homemade bread). Both were absolutely perfectly done. The french fries were also delicious. The pizza and wings we saw at another table also looked very good. The staff was friendly and competent as well. Definitely worth a trip!

This is an "out-of-the-way" neat find. Lunches are generous and good. The owners offer their Greek twist on some of the menu items such as their homemade mashed potatoes with peas and Baklava for dessert. The special for the day was meatloaf that I purchased to take home for dinner. Delish! If you're looking for fancy interior, this is not, but with food, service and good people, you will not notice.
