Great experience. Food was excellent, staff were very friendly and professional. They knew their menu and wine list well, and were very comfortable dealing with food allergies without any fuss. Couldn’t recommend this place highly enough. Ambiance was great, they were busy, but we never felt rushed.

We had a lovely time at Proof Pizza for my Sister's birthday! We all ordered different food from the menu, and all of us enjoyed it very much. Our waiter Felipe was exceptional! We were made feel very welcome and my Sister was so happy when Felipe brought her a cake with a candle to blow out at the end 😃 Really recommend Proof Pizza!! Great food and great service.
