| - I found myself in downtown Mesa because I wanted to peruse the Vinyl collection of a nearby establishment.
There aren't many dining options here, as of yet, in comparison to Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, and even Old Town Gilbert.
I was famished after scouring the classic Vinyl isles, and I found myself wandering through this quiet downtown. Perhaps, one day thing will pick up down here. For now, it is fairly devoid of the general populace.
Therefore, I wandered into this quaint little Pizzeria. They had a fair amount of people dining within. Which was surprising since there weren't a lot of people meandering about the streets.
I waited for a little bit before someone acknowledge that I had been seated, and not yet served. My server, Renee, was quite affable and definitely a card. I believe that I learned more about her in just a few minutes of interaction than I normally do with most people.
They didn't have an extensive menu, so I went for the obvious. A small pepperoni pizza, and a half a dozen mild wings. Fairly simple, and nothing fancy.
Not too long afterwards, the wings arrived first. They were quite good, but nothing too impressive. I mean, these are just buffalo wings, after all. Except for the different sauces, deep fried wings taste the same for the most part.
Then a few minutes later the pizza arrived. The crust was well done, and about as good as I had tasted from places like Grimaldi's. Overall, the pizza was good, but not great.
For a pizza place to crop up here, in the middle of a semi-deserted downtown on a Saturday night is a big plus for this area as a whole. For a long time, the only draw here was the Desert Eagle Brewing company. Now, there are even more alternatives for those that desire a change of venue.
