" I had heard a lot about All-Purpose, but I left feeling a bit underwhelmed. The pizza was decent but did not stand out in terms of quality compared to other local options. Service was average; I felt like it was lacking that personal touch. The outdoor patio is a nice feature, but overall, I expected more for the price. You’re paying for the view and location more than the food itself. It was nice, but I might not return anytime soon. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had the pleasure of dining at All-Purpose and I must say, the pizza was delightful! The hot honey on my pie was a game changer. The crust was perfectly crisp and the ingredients tasted fresh. The atmosphere was casual yet vibrant, making it a great spot to unwind after a long day. I highly recommend the arancini as a starter; it took me back to my trip to Italy! Overall, a fantastic experience and I can't wait to return. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited All-Purpose with high hopes and generally had a positive experience. The pizza was fresh and loaded with cheese, but I found the crust a bit too chewy for my preference. Overall, the atmosphere was inviting, but the service left much to be desired. We had to wait quite a while before we could place our order. I believe that this spot has great potential, especially with the awesome view, but they need to work on their service efficiency. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious pizza and great atmosphere! We had a lovely time celebrating my birthday here. The staff was attentive and they even surprised me with a dessert on the house. The pizza was heavenly, especially with the addition of the hot honey! The views from the outdoor seating area are stunning. The only critique was that it was quite busy when we arrived, and we had to wait for our table. But it was definitely worth it in the end. A great spot to celebrate special occasions! " (*Curated Review*)

" All-Purpose was a fantastic choice for a date night! The intimate vibe, combined with prompt service, made for an enjoyable evening. We ordered the Sedgwick pizza with a side of arancini and they were both delicious. The pizza crust was just right—not too thick, yet not flimsy. The only downside was the drinks; they weren't as great as the food. Overall, a lovely dinner experience in a stylish setting; definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Honestly, I had high expectations for All-Purpose given its reputation. The food was decent; the pizza was acceptable but didn’t blow me away. I felt that the flavors could have been more robust. The service was satisfactory but just average – nothing to rave about. The outdoor seating area is lovely, especially when the weather is nice, but I think it could use a little more decor to enhance the vibe. I might come back, but I'm in no rush. " (*Curated Review*)

" All-Purpose is a nice place to grab some pizza with friends! I loved their rooftop seating, which was perfect for a summer evening. The service, unfortunately, was a bit slow, but I could overlook that since the pizza was on point. I tried the 'Sedgwick' and was pleased with the balance of flavors. A bit pricey, but worth it in my opinion. Can’t wait to return for more! " (*Curated Review*)
