The truth about Pizza Buddha? It's a new pizza joint that opened last month in Henderson and I love it! It's not a very big place, but it packs a lot of punch, just like Pacquiao (except he got knocked out decisively after dinner, but I digress). Before the Big Fight, my friend and I had dinner at PB and thoroughly enjoyed our first visit. I say first because we'll definitely be back. The name of the restaurant may lead one to believe that they serve some kind of weird Asian pizza combinations, but it's not like that, my friends. There exists a Buddhist theme to the place, from the Asian decor to the names of the menu items, but the specialty pizzas are creative, not Asian, per se. My date and I chose to create our own and settled on a large mushroom, pancetta, and shaved garlic pizza. We ordered the PB Egg Rolls appetizer to start, which were 3 large egg rolls filled with ricotta and spinach. Served steaming hot with a side of marinara sauce, they were tasty and I told our waiter he should have brought us 4 so we didn't have to split the 3rd one. Our pizza arrived not too long after and we both agreed it was Buddha-licious, not greasy at all with a good-karma inducing crust and soul-soothing sauce. I had two slices because I wanted to leave room for the dessert, shaved ice with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, azuki beans, and your choice of root beer, orange, or cherry flavor. We chose the root beer and this would be my only gripe about the evening: there was not enough root beer for all the shaved ice, as more than half of it was just ice with none of the root beer. Don't order the dessert expecting Snow Ono-quality. Our bill was served with Smarties candy and a Wish book for each of us to write down a wish and place it in the Wish Maker near the entrance. Our waiter was fantastic, helpful in terms of the menu and attentive throughout the entire meal, genuinely positive and friendly. My wish for you is that you get yourself to Pizza Buddha and enjoy the experience as we did. Peace out.
