| - I was going to rate this four stars, but then asked myself "why only 4"? And I had no good answer.
I took a colleague there for lunch (his suggestion) and we both ordered the lunch special (small salad, small pizza) for $8.99. And holy cow was that good!
First the salad. I wouldn't call them "small". It wasn't huge either, but for being 50% of the meal, it was properly sized. I had "the Arthur", which was very tasty. The roasted peppers weren't overpowering and the candied walnuts added a nice zest I didn't expect.
Next, the pizzas. The lunch combo comes with a 6-inch pizza. While I could have eaten more, it was an appropriate lunch portion. Since it was my first visit, I went with a standard Italian sausage 'za. Gotta have a benchmark... Oh my! The crust... the sauce... the sausage... the cheese - it was all fantastic. I *wish* I had more!! My colleague got "the rocket" pizza, which looked really good (on the menu write-up as well as on the table). I will get that one next time...
For me, this wouldn't be a "grab a pizza on the way home" sort of meal. This is a "I deserve a fancy treat for lunch" establishment. Lucky for me, I deserve treats often, and I will be back again!
