" I had a disappointing experience here. The pizza was overly oily for my taste, which overshadowed the overall freshness. While the staff were nice, the food’s quality needs improvement. I may give it another shot, but it didn’t live up to the hype for me. " (*Curated Review*)

" Their calzones never disappoint! I always order the meat version, and they give an ample portion filled with gooey cheese. The crust could use a little more seasoning, but that’s just a small detail. Overall, I’m very happy with my order! " (*Curated Review*)

" Friendly staff and great pizza! The gluten-free pizza was surprisingly delicious, but the wait was a bit long. However, definitely worth it considering how good it is. If you're in the area, this is a must-try! " (*Curated Review*)

" Universal Pizza slightly missed the mark for me on my last visit. I found the crust a bit too thick for my liking, which makes it more filling than enjoyable. The service staff were friendly, but we waited longer than expected for our pizza, possibly because it was a busy evening. That said, they did offer a nice little discount for my patience, which I appreciated. I’ll likely give them another shot as I’ve heard great things from friends about their gluten-free options. " (*Curated Review*)

" I just had the best dining experience at Universal Pizza! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere felt so welcoming. I ordered a gluten-free calzone, which was generously sized and reminiscent of traditional pizza flavors. The owner personally made sure my meal was prepared correctly, showing her dedication to customer satisfaction. I also enjoyed their fried dough balls for dessert - pure bliss! I'll definitely be back with friends next time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I did not enjoy my visit. The pizza lacked the flavor I was hoping for and the service was unusually slow. It just wasn't memorable. However, I’ve heard good stories from friends and might give it another shot if I’m ever in the area again. " (*Curated Review*)

" This is my go-to local pizza spot! I've tried a variety of their pizzas and each one has been delicious. The gluten-free pizza is out of this world, and you'd never guess it wasn't traditional. It's always fresh and hot, and the staff are incredibly welcoming. " (*Curated Review*)
