It must be a locals thing. We're not locals and weren't raised here, so when we bought our first takeout pizza from Barro's a few weeks ago, we couldn't wait to open up the boxes and dig right in. Still nice and hot, I grabbed my first slice and thought... Hmm... this is just OKAY.
It wasn't bad. It just wasn't anything special. I was expecting a nicely flavored sauce, a soft crust... but it was just pizza without the exclamation point. Don't get me wrong-- it wasn't bad pizza. I have only ever had bad pizza once in my life and this wasn't in that category. It just didn't have that appeal that left me salivating for another slice.
I do have to say, the location itself is huge and perfect for meeting friends and is the perfect local pizza joint for after a soccer game. I can't say it will be my last time eating at Barro's (because, pizza), but it certainly didn't have me rushing back to make it a Friday night tradition.
