Why some restaurants in a fantastic location with great food remain empty for dinner will forever be a mystery to me. Double Zero Pizza is such a restaurant.
I went on a weeknight with a friend and was quite impressed with the giant staircase leading down to the restaurant, with huge lights spelling out Double Zero Pizza. Once at the bottom of the stairs, I was impressed with the decor and how big the place was. But.. it was mostly empty. Anyway, we were seated right away in a cozy booth near the kitchen. My friend ordered some kind of chicken pasta and I ordered the potato/egg/spinach pizza. My pizza was really tasty! My friend's pasta was not bad either. Our waitress was perfectly nice and helpful.
So that is why I stay confused. Why was the restaurant empty, other than 2 other occupied tables? The food is great, the space is great, service was good.. Its a great restaurant to have on Stephen Avenue - why isnt this place buzzing?!
Until I figure out this mystery, I will make myself a regular patron and bring whoever I can to these establishments. Granted its a new restaurant, but it would be a big shame if Double Zero decide to close down because they are not getting enough people through the doors! I have had this happen to too many fond favourites!
