" I've been to Short & Main multiple times, and the food never disappoints. The pizza has a unique flavor profile due to the wood-fired cooking process. I especially loved the variety of toppings available. However, sometimes it feels a bit crowded, and getting a seat can be a challenge. Nonetheless, it’s worth it for the food quality!
