| - While it is a bit of a drive to get to Rare Earth, we've designated this as our preferred pizza and wine spot as it's well worth the trip. This restaurant offers a quality that so many seem to lack: consistency. The pizzas are always made with the same high quality ingredients, the crust is always the same crispy, thin crust that we love, and the salads are always made with the same fresh ingredients. It seems that this is such a simple concept, yet so many restaurants, particularly pizza places, fail to realize the importance that customers place in knowing what they are getting when they order the same item on two different occasions.
We typically get the caesar salad and the margherita pizza with mushrooms, onions, and green peppers on it and both items are excellent. Their selection of wines by the glass is a bit limited, but there are some drinkable options for both red and white wines. The only suggestion that I have is that it would be nice if they were to extend their happy hour until 7pm rather than 6pm as it is nearly impossible for anyone who does not live or work in the immediate vicinity to take advantage of the happy hour pricing given the drive needed to get there.
The only real drawback is that during most of the times that we've been there on Saturday nights for the live music that is offered, it seems that families with small children tend to frequent the place and there is nearly always some loud, crying child that disrupts the otherwise relaxing environment, which is a particular pet peeve of mine.
The bottom line here, though, is that this is definitely a place worth trying out!
