| - The good reviews are true, folks.
I'm pretty picky about my pizza. I was dubious about trying Bistro Pizza because the pizza place that used to exist in its spot was very "meh". I know that's silly, but whatever. Anyway, today I found myself without a vehicle and this place is right across the street, so I decided that today was the big day.
Now, I don't normally like calzones. However, based on the good Yelp reviews, I went in with the notion that I would try a calzone or stromboli. I got a calzone with ham, mozzarella, pineapple, onion, and roasted red pepper (it's a house special...don't remember the name). WOW. WOW is all that is needed... but for the sake of being complete, I'll give you a description. The crust was light, flaky, and perfectly seasoned. It was baked to absolute perfection. My main complaint with calzones is that they're usually doughy and raw in spots (maybe I've had bad ones, but that's my experience). Not this one. It couldn't have been better. The inside was filled with very fresh-tasting pineapple and other high-quality ingredients. It came with a side of marinara, which was flavorful and pleasant.
The service was exceptional and the place was very clean. The man making the pizzas looked like a real pizza chef rather than some greasy-looking skater punk like you might expect at a local pizza place. Overall, Bistro Pizza gives the appearance of being a high-brow pizza place without the high cost. The tables all have interesting books on them to read while you wait... a very cool touch. My calzone was $10, which I consider to be very reasonable given that I'll get two meals out of it. I was highly impressed with this place, and I'm glad there's something so delicious near my apartment now!
Try Bistro Pizza. You won't regret it!
