“ Food is great and not to mention it’s the closest restaurant off base. Fair priced drinks and good service. Taxis are usually out front too. Pizzas in this country are light on sauce compared to the US so you have to ask for a side of “ketchup” if you’re looking for a little more. Their spicy ketchup is ”
“ The food is freshly made and is really tasty. The environment is kinda suffocating. Definitely needs to be redecorated. Bathroom is a joke(window where you can see outside, door not closing properly). Staff is friendly and hard working but not very professional. Maybe i saw to many negative things but beside all that it is worth giving a chance. Food is really good. ”
“ Staff was super dope and friendly. They pour their drinks relatively strong but I like mine strong so that wasn’t an issue for me at least. I got some pizza and it was fire. But the only downside was that there’s only like 3 servers that are on the floor so when it gets busy it takes awhile for service. ”
“ I am U.S. Military and stationed right beside Enigma. I always know I am 10 minutes from my bunk when I come back from a range or a mission, and I see my Enigma. This place has the best pizza. Crust is not too thick, toppings are fresh, the cheese will string from the pan to your mouth. The service is always the best. I love the big guy with the beard. He is always working the outside. He is awesome. I always try to tip him with something. The place is always hopping. Evenings, it is hard to get a seat. But it is very much worth the wait. I watched a great soccer match with my Soldiers to celebrate a successful mission. Smoked my cigar and relaxed. I was at home, my Enigma. I even talk to my buddies to arrange a date to get back there for another pizza night. Kids are always with their parents, deliveries going out the door. Everyone is always smiling. Always know that when they are busy, you can smell it from the front gate. Love me some Enigma. If you have not made it there. You need to get there and check it out. Inside or outside the service is great. Thanks Enigma, it will be in my stories to my family when I get back to the states. ”
“ The food was excellent and the waiter was awesome, he even recommended a beer and food!! Would go back! The price was very affordable too. ”
“ GREAT food and GREAT experience. I will certainly go back. I went there with my family and we all loved it. The staff is very friendly and made us feel welcome even though we are foreigners and don't speak Romanian. ”
