Worked for Kris Monforte for only a few months. Last night was the last straw. For the few months i was there I witnessed him treat employees including his younger teenage ones like complete garbage. Micro manages like an idiot. Boasts about how rich he is and how everyone is replaceable. He is hammered drunk 90% of the time. Even though the food is very good because Abby is an outstanding cook and Teddy makes a delicious pizza, I don’t recommend this place to anyone. Respect goes a long way, and in the few months I was there I literally have seen 10 employees come and go. In the long run I wouldn’t doubt this place will fail miserably.

Great pizza and wings. Free wings in the amount of your age on your actual birthday. We went for there for my uncle's 71st and we feasted! We were three adults and two kids. They let us know they'd serve 20 to start, and then 10 at a time thereafter. We made it to 40. Love the pizza. I usually get cheese, but the BLT pizza is fantastic. Highly recommend. I even caught a glimpse of the old pizza pans, still in use, when I went past the kitchen. Our family went to the old Orchard (RIP) often. I have fond memories of the longtime staff, enjoying family birthdays and celebrations, and a poignant visit after my grandfather's wake. Orchard West has a similar vibe; it's familiar and welcoming. But with more restrooms and better plumbing, haha! One last thing about our most recent visit for my son's 8th birthday. Somehow he managed to leave his new Mario Luigi electronic figures behind. The owner, I think Kris?, was an absolute hero. He looked everywhere, including the security cams, to find them. He determined they were inadvertently thrown out. We asked if we could return and poke through the garbage, but he insisted on doing the dirty work himself after the kitchen closed. And he found them!! I never would've expected him to do that and was touched when he went that extra mile for my 3rd grader's missing birthday gifts. Kris saved the day. I have early childhood memories of pizza at the Orchard with my family. Pretty sure I wrote a story in elementary school about my most favorite-est restaurant From my grandparents' generation down through my own kids' generation, The Orchard has us as customers for life!
