| - As a downtowner, there are far too many amazing pizza joints to choose from for me to even consider wasting my money at Humble Pie ever again. The food is OK, but your time is much better spent at Cibo, Bianco, Z Pizza, or even Pinot's!
AMBIANCE:
First off, the ambiance is seriously lacking. Small, boring space with bad lighting and poor music selection. Also, nasty smelling bathrooms. Thanks, but no thanks.
DRINKS:
Secondly, they serve up a HORRIBLE $9 lukewarm cocktail that tastes like pickle juice and vodka, masquerading as a cucumber gin libation. BEYOND disgusting. Shocked at first sip, I was too turned off to try any of their other specialty cocktails. Thankfully, they let me swap this disaster of a drink out for a nice glass of chardonnay.
FOOD:
As for appetizers, they were out of the teppanyaki green beans we wanted to try. The Calabrese salad was decent, but nothing to write home about, certainly not capable of rivaling the likes of what they serve up at Postino's. The steak turkey chili was underwhelming... in fact, the only decent option worth mentioning are the garlic fries.
Pizzas were acceptable, but they won't split your order. My husband and I wanted to order half a Schriner's Sausage and half Pear Gorgonzola, no such luck. This place is one of the ONLY pizza joints I've visited in town that won't accommodate a half and half order. Super disappointing.
OVERALL:
The icing on this giant lackluster cake was their refusal to honor the coupons we brought in. We came in for dinner with some neighbors of ours, all of us lured by the prospect of spending $20 and receiving a free pizza. Unfortunately, after telling the waiter about our coupons from the beginning, and ordering WELL over $20 per couple, we were told at the very end that only one of our coupons would be honored.
Needless to say, we were all extremely let down by this entire experience, and will definitely NOT be back. Ridiculous waste of $50 (coupon and all)!
