3.5 stars.
I'm Italian. I'm a pizza freak. And I am very opinionated when it comes to my pizza. I generally like most pizza places, because I just love pizza.
I went here with 3 other people and was excited. They had the outside bar open (why the hell you would want to sit outside in 100+ degrees, I don't know). The waiter was hilarious, and very lucky that I love all kinds of humor and sarcasm. Most people would've found him to be offensive.
I loved the fact that they cook the pizzas in a traditional brick oven and hand toss their pizza dough.
The bread with olive oil/pepper/balsamic vinegar was rather horrible. I attribute it to the crappy olive oil and subpar bread (I hate to say it, but Macaroni Grill has the best). Something as simple as that turns me off.
We ordered two pizzas, each half and half.
I had pepperoni, garlic, basil on the side, and fresh tomatoes. The basil was not fresh, it was brown and bitter.
Something very important to know about their pizza is that their "pizza sauce" has NO SPICES whatsoever. It's plain ol' tomato. That's why it's important to get the extra toppings. That's how they make their money. Each topping is $2+. I'm sorry, but I love my spices.
Hop on the 215 and get over to Joe's NY pizza by the Outlet Mall. THAT is pizza.
