| - If the first thing I see when I walk into a restaurant is a wood-fired oven, I'm a happy lady! This restaurant is quaint, aromatic, and just an outstanding choice for thin crust delicious pizza in Cleveland. Honestly, it's probably the closest to real Italian pizza you'll find for miles around, and the best part about it is all their ingredients are locally sourced. Any place that supports local businesses is an establishment I immediately respect and have no problem handing stars to hand over foot!!
My chomping buddy and I started with a selection of 4 appetizers for $16 (pretty damn good deal)! From the cured meat selection, we had the prosciutto di parma and hot coppa. I appreciated that the menu listed the locations from which all the meats were obtained (prosciutto from italy and hot coppa from san fran). Both were delicious! Creamy, well sliced prosciutto is an art and these guys have mastered it! The hot coppa was peppery, spicy, and just salty enough to make me want to move on to cheese, but not so salty to make me guzzle gallons of water all night! The shot rock (sheep milk cheese) was funky but not TOO funky, you know what I mean? Sometimes you just want a chunk of good ol' stinky cheese, but you don't want one so stinky that you can't taste the rest of your meal. Finally, the chevre---I love goat cheese to the end of the earth and back and this one was great. So much better than any chevre you can buy from Whole Foods haha. Warm bread with chevre and honey= me slapping the boyfriend's hand away for every last morsel!
But what about the pizza, you say? Well, let me tell you.
- Salumi: We ordered the salumi and honey pizza at the recommendation of fellow Yelpers and were not disappointed! Every bite really features the flavors of salumi, honey, oregano and tomato. No one ingredient over powered the rest. The balance between sweet and savory is so perfectly achieved, that I could have eaten that entire pie myself. Next time, I just might!!
- Carbonara: The carbonara is an equally good choice. The egg was cooked to runny/solid perfection! This pie was creamy and decadent mozzarella bliss with just a hint of spice every now and then- fantastic!! My only qualm was that bits of the crust were burnt, but that is to be expected with a wood-fired oven.
We washed everything down with a bottle of sweet and simple Bracchetto- the perfect sweet sparkling addition to pizza. I recommend you buy the bottle, because just one glass will not suffice!!
Tip: There are very few tables, so make a reservation. The servers were really great about coming over and checking in on us as we waited by the door for a table. Although, the ambiance is not amazing as there are very few tables and the servers can be a little teenage-growing phase awkward. But I don't think I'll detract a star for that! Also, check in and you'll get $2 off your order!!!
