| - It's nice to see that other customers enjoyed their experience here, but I'd have to say mine was no more than average. A 3.5 stars out of 5 at most.
After the closing of Custom Built, my SO and I heard that Pieology was similar in concept-- a build your own pizza type of establishment, and we were excited to check it out.
The restaurant is bright with plenty of natural light. This is something I take note of in any restaurant. The decor was industrial and comparable to Chipotle's. It was before noon on a weekday, and, luckily, we had gotten there at a decent time; there was plenty of open seating.
Although we understood the concept of the establishment and it's customizable pizzas, I was disappointed to find that the young lady behind the counter who walked over to us gave little to no greeting. In her hands, she held their regular dough and simply asked us what we wanted. We had never been there before and so we asked a few questions about the dough options. They were answered straightforwardly, and no other information was exchanged. Our pizza was topped and slid into the oven. A different employee came over to the register and charged us accordingly. He then mentioned that our pizza would be brought over to us shortly.
When it arrived, I was happy to find that it was good pizza, and that the person who brought it over was nice and wiped all the surrounding tables. Clean. I'd also like to note that our pizza was not burnt like it had been described in other reviews--it was crisp, light and my SO liked the pizza's sauce. For the price, around $7-$8, I'd eat it again.
My only gripe with this place was the lack of good customer service. It wasn't unpleasant per sè, but it certainly didn't make for an ideal lunch out. A smile, a "have a great day" or an "enjoy your meal" would have been nice.
I'd say that the best phrase for me to describe Pieology would be "not bad". Stop by for a quick lunch or afternoon bite! It's inexpensive and has something for everyone. There are tables with sufficient seating for larger groups. Bring your friends!
