| - Meh..
The pizza is barely decent and all 3 times I have been here, part of the crust was burnt to the point were it could not be eaten. Twice with family (they picked the restaurant, once with my fiancee).
The first 2 times with family. The service was decent, until the owner of the place, not only ran out of the wine that my fiancee asked for (Resiling), but in a sad attempt to cover it up, tried to redirect her choice of wines by saying that the Reisling they serve would be much different from what she was used to; as if the owner knew anything about my fiancees experience in wine. After my fiancee declined the few wines the owner kept trying to push, the owner finally admitted that she was out of Reisling. All this over an insulting 3 minute period?
On to the pizza.
Burnt Crust and uninspired changes to a centuries old tradition.
We visited this place after coming back from our 3rd trip to Italy (sicily, Rome & Naploli) and wow. Why reinvent the wheel?
Italy has a ton of pizzas, all with individual names. None of the regular Italian named pizzas match up with what they serve at Grazie. They changed everything.
An Americana pizza for example has french fries on it. (Strange to us, but normal in Italy. Just an example though) Everywhere in Italy, no matter where you go, if you order an Americana, you will get fries on your pizza. Not so at Grazie.
Oh, they have an Americana, but rather than fries, it is completely unrelated to the Italian standard. They made up their own pizzas and named them after typical pizzas found throughout Italy. Nothing matches up.
I ordered the cinque formaggi (in Italy it is the quattro formaggi)
Terrible. The entire bottom was burnt, and the cheese was covered in a thin layer of grease. A hint that they use cheap cheese.
Insults, burnt crust and a flare for unoriginal pizzas with the wrong names?
No thank you.. I honestly would prefer Papa Johns pizza over this atrocity.
