| - Three stars because it is very average. Not bad, though. Our definition of pizza is what one gets in Naples. This place doesn't disappoint in terms of crust--it is wood fired. Their red sauce is good, also. However, the parmesan is melted, and the mozerella is stringly. All the cheese is overdone. The menu choices are limiting---the combinations offered are Americanized. You'd do well here to make off menu requests, probably. The Sonny Boy would be better if the olives were sliced---the presentation of whole olives on the pie is luxe, but the bite, while delicious, is too overwhelming. The rocket (arugula) on the biancoverde was not baby rocket, and it was dull--a bit past its freshness date, and with no spicy zing. The cheese was overwhelming, and overall flavor was bland. Would not order it again. This place is in a good location and is priced high --and hyped up--for tourists, although many locals love this place. Our lunch bill for two pies, two salads, two peronis and one glass of house wine was $77, not including the tip. If you want true Napoli pizza at a much better value (& less touristy), go to Pomo, a place which feels more Italian, has better cocktails, authetic Italian desserts, and is (slightly) less expensive.
