I have to admit, the pizza at Xeno’s is genuinely good. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh, and the overall flavor was excellent. If you're a pizza fan looking for quality ingredients you won't be disappointed in the product itself.However, that's where the positives largely end. Unfortunately, the price point is simply too high for what you get.Adding to the disappointment was the lackluster service. Despite the restaurant being virtually empty on a Sunday evening, our server seemed disinterested and slow. There was no sense of warmth or attentiveness, and we felt more like an inconvenience than valued customers. - D MM
