| - I really wanted to give them 3 stars.. I really did.. Buuut the amount of flies in the restaurant itself, the inexperience staff, and the burnt pizza was just a turn off..
Very dark and small pizza joint located on Eastern, between Cafe Zupas and Taco Y Taco.
Upon walking in the place was dead.. And dirty.. Dishes still on the tables and about a handful of tables that were somewhat clean and available to eat at.
We were greeted, then left, then asked if it was our first time there, then left, then a different person helped us.. Even though it was a slow evening for them, the fellow helping us was super slow! He wasn't too sure of the menu and in my opinion, needed more training ..
Seriously flies hovering all around the place .. I'm trying to tell myself that they did not at all touch the ingredients on the counter.. My friend and I both got the gluten free dough, which was pre packaged and very flat.. Only comes in 10" with two toppings, everything else are extra add-ons.
I added the pesto sauce, sautéed spinach, pancetta, fresh mozzarella, and prosciutto drizzled with olive oil added once it cooked.
Pizza came out pretty quickly.. But was a little too burnt for me. I like the crispyness and the thinness of the crust but parts I could not get over the burnt taste.
Ingredients were ok, nothing to grand about the pancetta or prosciutto, fresh mozzarella was good, and I would've liked more olive oil.
I've had other gluten free pizzas, but this one was just not that great for me.. I was bummed they didn't have the whole wheat because "it wasn't ready"..
I've wanted to try the place since it opened and since lots of Yelpers put good reviews about it. I would've been happier across the street at Grimaldi's or the next freeway exit at Settebello. Was a 'thoughtful' try.. Not worth $32 for two pizzas .. ¯\_(?)_/¯
