" I appreciated my meal at Smashing Tomato, although I had a couple of minor setbacks with my order. The pizza I received first was incorrect, but the staff quickly corrected it and ensured I got what I wanted. The food itself was absolutely delicious; the crust was light, crispy, and just how I prefer it. The portion sizes were just right for what I paid, which feels good. Overall a positive experience that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" I recently had the chance to sample several dishes here and overall, I found Smashing Tomato to be a delightful surprise. The pizza boasted a traditional wood-fired excellence that many places lack. I specifically enjoyed the fresh toppings and a crust that had just the right degree of chewiness. There were some hiccups with the timing of our order arriving, as it took longer than anticipated—particularly for the appetizers. However, the management handled the situation well and we received a complimentary appetizer for the wait. It was a kind gesture that helped restore our faith in their service. I can see why people rave about this place and I would consider visiting again, but at a different time to avoid rush hours! " (*Curated Review*)

" I randomly ended up at Smashing Tomato and I am so glad that I did! I tried their special pizza of the day, and I can honestly say it was some of the best I've had. The breadsticks were also a highlight - super fluffy and packed with flavor. The service was very friendly, which added to the experience. There was a bit of a wait for our pizza, but that was expected on a Saturday night. I will be back to try more flavors soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I’ve read mixed reviews about this place, but I was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is cozy, albeit a bit loud, which didn't bother me. I tried their special of the day, which was a fungi pizza drizzled with truffle oil, and it was exquisite! However, my friends opted for the classic burger, which they said was just average. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would recommend checking it out if you’re in the area. Just maybe stick to the pizza! " (*Curated Review*)

" The other day, I stopped by Smashing Tomato for a lunch date with a friend. We both ordered pizzas and split a salad, and the food was delicious! The crust was light and had a great texture, which I loved. Plus, I appreciate the fresh toppings they use; you can really taste the difference. Though the restaurant was a bit noisy, the atmosphere felt lively and fun. I will definitely add this place to my list of favorites for pizza! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightful spot for pizza lovers! I ordered the Four Cheese pizza and a side of garlic knots. The cheese was gooey and just what I look for in Italian. The atmosphere felt vibrant and welcoming. Although my server seemed to be a bit overwhelmed with tables, they were attentive and pleasant. Can’t wait to come back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a fantastic meal at Smashing Tomato! The wood-fired pizzas here are made with so much care, you can taste it. I ordered a pepperoni pizza which had great flavor, although I could have used a little more sauce. The ambiance was casual but still very inviting, perfect for a family dinner. The garlic knots are a definite must-try! I can’t wait to come back and explore more of their menu! " (*Curated Review*)
