| - Finally! A decent pizza place in the neighborhood that has indoor seating! After being disappointed by the area pizza joints, I had given up on hoping I could find a place to go without driving 20 minutes for eat-in pizza.
Of course, Rustic pizza is in the same shopping center, but good luck finding a spot to sit down.
Barro's Pizza has a roomy interior, with plenty of seating. Parmesean and hot flakes are at each table, and a meager but tasty salad bar up front to help you stave off your hunger until the pie is finished.
I went in and ordered a personal small pepperoni pizza, salad, and drink. I was given a salad bowl and helped myself to the salad bar, a drink, and then sat down and ate until my pizza was delivered tableside.
The pizza was hot. Really hot. Right out of the oven hot. That made me feel really good -- I hate cold, warm, or reheated-tasting pizza. This was FRESH. The pepperoni was really spicy, and crisped on the edges the way pepperoni is supposed to be! The crust was dry, with a nice coating of corn meal on the outside, nearly perfect (If I had to really nitpick, the crust was slightly too bready). The moz cheese was good quality and it was everything I was missing from our local pizza places.
I would like to see a better salad bar, with more options. It's pretty sparse and there's a lot of room for improvement.
They also have subs and pasta, which I intend to try in the (very near) future
