| - We finally found somewhere to go instead of Brixx! Yay!
Tonight, spurred on by our about-to-expire purchased coupon from sometime last yearish, we finally tried Italian Pie for the first time. Now, we're sorry we waited so dang long.
Our waiter was really personable and helpful with suggestions. I tried one of the specialty pizzas, the Artichoke, but ordered it with red sauce (instead of the "garlic sauce" base) on multigrain crust. Husband went with the White Pie as described on the menu.
We didn't have to wait too long for our food. When it came out, the waiter (wish I remembered his name...Matt?) said that he realized they made mine with regular crust instead of multigrain, and apologized. No biggie. I'll try it next time.
And there will definitely be a next time, because HOLY YUM these are good pizzas. Thin and crisp (and yes, a bit oily - it's like a hybrid of thin crust and deep dish/pan pizza), with tons of cheese so gooey you'd expect to see it in a commercial. I'd have wished for more artichoke (the only thing I like Brixx better for - big chunks of artichoke, whereas here, it was more like shavings or slivers), and I couldn't find any spinach (contrary to my order for both spinach & artichoke) but all of the toppings, from the diced tomato and onion to the crumbled feta and bits of basil scattered around tasted very fresh and flavorful. A couple of bites of Husband's White Pie were also good, with a creamy alfredo sauce base and well-seasoned chicken with red bell pepper. We probably should have stopped at three, but both downed four slices on account of the om-nom-nom factor. NO REGRETS.
The beer list is not huge, but they had Bell's Two-Hearted, so Husband was happy.
Try it! You'll like it!
