This restaurant is a recent addition to the area, so recent that, at the time of this writing, it doesn't even show up on Google Maps. It is located in the same plaza as a nearby Mars super market and Goldberg's Bagels. I've been to Epic several times and have never had a bad experience. The first trip set the tone. I, and a few friends, traveled down there to try it out over lunch. They'd run out of single slices (it was a late lunch) so we ordered a cheese pizza. The pizza came out fairly quickly and was delivered to the table by the manager/owner. He apologized for not having pizza ready for us and because the pizza wasn't "right." We asked what was wrong and he showed us ... the cheese in the center of the pizza was slightly smashed ... but, to us, it looked and smelled right. He said he was going to make us a new pizza, but we told him not to bother--we were in a hurry and it looked fine. He corrected our assumption and told us he'd leave us this pizza to eat, but give us a free, "proper" one to take away. Well, we ate the pizza (which tasted terrific) and by the time we were done, he had the other ready to go. We took it back for a late snack and it was great, too. Epic makes its pizza thin crust, with just enough crunch to make it hold together, but you want to eat it fold-over NY-style. The cheeses they use (I think its four), give it a nice blend of flavors. The sauce is nice, and not overpowering. When I've gone back and had toppings, I've liked everything quite a bit, especially their Italian sausage. Epic has good lunch specials and more than just pizza. So far, we've had their strombolis and their cheesesteaks as well, both of which are top-notch. It's hard not to just get their pizza, though. One slice and a drink is enough for lunch (though their $5.95 special comes with two slices and a drink). I strongly recommend trying this place out. They're always friendly and always make great food.
