| - I LOVE a wood fired oven, so we walked over to Wink 24 to see what transformations had taken place in the old Forge pizza location. The updated decor is cute they've done a good job separating the space from the other Union shops. The outdoor seating has also been expanded.
We ordered the Toscana Crostini, La Burger Panini, and a Margherita pizza.
The crostini, two peices for $5 was a great small bite. The fresh prosciutto on top was tasty and not too salty.
The burger was excellent... great flavor, the wood fired bread, onions, greens and chipotle sauce worked well. The burger is served medium well as its panini style it's a slimmer patty, so if you like to have a say in your meat temperature this probably isn't a great choice.
The burger is served with a side of Zucchini Fritte's and they were the highlight of the meal for me. I will go back just for these alone. Deliciously breaded and seasoned thinly sliced zucchini goodness. The menu said they are served with a yogurt sauce but it tasted like cream cheese to me, either way NO complaints. Delicious!
My boyfriend gave the pizza 3 stars, not bad not great. He's a cheese only guy so keep that in mind. There are many other choices besides pizza on the menu here and based on the burger/Fritte's/Crostini I would order them again, and I would definitely try some of there other options.
I hope they get the traffic and traction to stay afloat in this location. We were one of two diners, granted it was a Sunday of a holiday weekend but it was lunch hour. Overall the food and service were a solid 3 1/2-4 stars so I'm bumping that up to four.
