| - In one word: meh.
This is no Cafe Porta Alba, that's for sure. S2 is decorated in a pretty spartan style, and there's not much seating. Random tables stand in the backroom but with no stools.
I got the sopressata pizza, and my roommate got the pepper and sausage one. They claim the pizzas cook quickly--and they do. We got ours in five minutes or so. The first thing that stuck out to me? Hardly any toppings. When I say "sparse", I mean it. I had a couple small circles of salami, and the roomie's was sprinkled with pepper cubes and chunks of sausage. Again, we're paying for toppings, so why weren't they on the pizza?
Price-wise, at $8 or so, you get a good amount of pizza. The problem, though, is the quality. Both pizzas were undercooked. This is supposed to be in the brick oven/Neapolitano style, but they weren't well-done. The dough was meh. The cheese was there, but was sliding all over the pizza, which isn't supposed to happen.
So, there's my overly-underwhelming review. My advice? Stick to Ian's. Their pizzas may be crazy, but they're much better. If you're looking for this style, Cafe Porta Alba is the place to go--it's a little pricier, but the enormous jump in quality is well-worth it.
