    Their fig pizza is awesome. I would have chosen prosciutto but the bacon worked fine. Arwsome

    They are OK. I used to come here a long time ago and have been back occasionally. I find them good for a quick snack or a quick lunch.

    Their prices are good and they have been around forever. I think they used to be called something else a long time ago but am not sure whether there is any affiliation there.

    It is casual inside and low key. The thing is I just do not love their pizza. It isn't bad or anything but just OK for me.

    They are convenient if in the area and are located in a shopping plaza. I cannot speak to other things on their menu since I have only ever had their pizza.

    Not sure how this place stays open. One waitress and she's terrible, grumpy and rude. The food is average at best. We ordered chicken tenders and received a flattened, crusted, paper thin breast. When we asked the waitress about the 'tenders' she said....we don't have any, they come in tomorrow. So....ummm...why didn't you tell us that instead of trying to pass off an old dried out breast as tenders? Ordered two pizzas one came out 15 minutes after the first so two people sat and watched the third person eat his. Drinks weren't refilled, nobody asked how our pizza was. Seriously...with so many pizza options in this town we will NEVER go back.

    McGowan's used to have good pizza, but recently it has been pretty bad. The pizza I ordered was under cooked sloppy looking and greasy. It was not edible . I will not be

    An awful dining in experience.  The restaurant wait staff was atrocious so much so that I had to get my own straws, utensils napkins and even bus dirty plates to the service station.   Kids meals were supposed to come with desert. We asked 3 different people for a substitution after they told us at the end of the meal that they were out of the ice cream mentioned on the menu that the kids were looking forward to.  All told us "they would check" and then never returned.  The waitress also asked me to have my daughter stop "flailing her hands" (she's 21 months old) on more than one occasion when she approached the table.  I've worked in restaurants for the better part of 10 years and this was the worst dining experience I've ever had which is unfortunate because I'm sure the food would have been delicious eaten hot had I not had to get my own utensils.
