This was our first time at Hawthorne's, because we have our "go to place" pizza place. Well, i was blown away by everything i tasted.
First of all, the service was awesome. Our waiter (Carter), was very sweet and super helpful. She did a great job explaining how the pies worked and the different options. My wife went with the New Yorker Bar pie with ham. My mom went with the Luau pizza and i had to go big...i had the Meat Eater. Needless to say, the were all great. You could taste every ingredient and they tasted fresh (not frozen stuff).
To end the evening, Carter suggested the Cookie Pie dessert. She didn't steer us wrong with that option. The size of it was the first hint that this was going to be epic. But then i tasted it and all was confirmed. The cookie was crunchy on the edges and soft in the middle. It was the right amount of "Chocolaty" and just enough dough to know it was a cookie. The ice cream definitely did its job as the perfect companion.
Overall, my first experience at Hawthorne's will not be the last. Their service was great (thank you Carter and Brad!!) and the food was tasty, fresh and delicious. If you want good pizza, Hawthorne's is the place to go.
