| - We decided to try Michael's Pizza Bar & Restaurant one sunny Saturday this past summer. A little off the beaten path running through the South Side you will find this little treasure. First impressions, it's a quaint neighborhood bar. The kind of place that if you live close you probably frequent. I was really excited to try Michael's after hearing about their pizza. So that is where we laid our attention.
We ordered a large pie half cheese (for him) and the other half mushroom, onions, and banana peppers (for me). Now I am like every other red blooded American, but pizza doesn't usually impress me. It's ok, great to eat with beer, but I could never eat it regularly. When I get pizza I like it to be thin crust, crisp, almost stand on its own, with veggies. That being said Michael's delivered not only a pretty chill atmosphere but a pretty tasty pie. Matt really liked the crust and the sauce. I enjoyed the flavors as well, especially since they do not skimp on the toppings at all. There was a plethora of veggies piled atop my pie. This was good but came with its own set of challenges as the toppings weighed the pizza down, so there went my stand on its own factor. That was ok it was still very scrumptious. The one thing I really wish they would have done was use fresh mushrooms and not the canned ones.
Funny thing happened as we were eating and enjoying some brews. A couple with a few kids pulled up outside. They left the door of their SUV open as their kids slept in the car while they had some pie at the outdoor table. I laughed cause I would totally do the same thing.
