My wife and I tried this place last friday, It has only been opened a couple of weeks.
Some things really caught my attention as I had not seen them in a pizza resturant before. The entry point is at the cash register. you place your order, all pizzas are the same size, They have a big list of toppings, and then "Standard" combinations. You also get your drinks from the cashier and then a number to place on your table. Then you can walk past the pizza prep area and find your own table. The atmostsphere is like a Subway or Quiznos which was not the charm I was hoping for.
They have a number of workers that prep the pizza in assemble line fashion, one stretches the dough, another adds sauce, another for the topping, another to put it into the wood fired oven, etc.
The pizza is delivered to you table in pretty quick time, the crust was outstandingly good, everything else was so-so or worse. My sausage/mushroom (Standard combination) seemed to lack cheese, perhaps the worker who applies the cheese was distracted. But my beer was good.
My wife couldn't wait to leave, we were probablly door-to-door in about 30 minutes or less. Her comments included: "You make way better pizza in the backyard." Which is prehaps the best complement I've ever recieved from her about by pizza oven.
I'm hoping the Red Rossa will morph with experience in to something with more Italian charm. Of course my glass is always half full.

What a disappointment! But wait...there is more...My husband's salad was literally soaked in water and every piece of lettuce in his salad was completely wilted. He stated the vinegarette had absolutely no flavor other than the salt and pepper he had to pour over it to try and eat it! My salad was passable...but not much better especially since it had a five dollar price tag for the half order of salad I received. Trying to give them the benefit of the doubt, we waited for the pizza to arrive. When it did we wished we had gone elsewhere for our meal. This pizza had little cheese on it. The peppers and sausage were fine, but nothing special. The entire pizza was cold....so much for their wood fired ovens!! All of this poor quality service and food was experienced while the couple in the next booth talked over their screaming, and yes I DO mean screaming children. Not what one might refer to as a pleasant dining experience. I believe that we will take our dining dollars to a place where we can receive quality food and quality service, that will make our dining out an enjoyable time. I doubt we will frequent this place again. When we left this place, we went somewhere other to eat.
