| - I've been hearing good things about Vero Pizza since it opened, and was excited to try it. We arrived a few minutes before 5pm on a Friday and were seated right away as a group of 5. There was only one other group waiting when we arrived, but by 6pm the were pretty full. There also isn't much room for waiting, so just something to keep in mind if you have a larger group or are coming at a burger time and it's cold outside.
We started out with some drinks, and our server was nice enough to help us navigate the drink menu. They only have 2 type of beers (bottled) and they were out of one of them.
We tried their salumi, soppressata, bianca, and best pizzas and all had delicious flavors! Their pizzas are thin crust that's slightly chewy (probably a bit too chewy for me, but everyone else liked it). They cut the pizzas into 4 pieces right at your table, which is a nice touch. They recommend 1 pizza per person, but, as a group of 5, we probably could have split 3-4 pizzas and perhaps tried one of their appetizers. It did take about 20 min to get our food, which seemed like a while given that they weren't particularly busy when we first got there.
We ended with their gelato, which was also delicious (and servings are big enough to split)! They have about a dozen flavors to choose from. Having eaten a pizza and a big bowl of gelato, I definitely left feeling full!
Overall, a great addition to the Cedar-Fairmont area. Their pizzas are unique and definitely have a more authentic feel to them. The crust was a bit too chewy for me, to the point where I might call it soggy, but that's just me. Would be happy to come here again, especially at a time where we don't have to wait. Can't go too wrong with pizza, wine, and gelato!
