On a typical visit you can expect an above average experience. When I say a typical visit I mean a quick stop into this mid level service pizza parlor for a pizza, bread sticks and a beer. The furniture and tables appear to be dated but that is a part of the charm. Orders are placed at the counter and then delivered to the table by a friendly sever. As previous reviews have noted, the staff is very attentive to the condition of the dining room.
I typically order a thin crust cheese pizza with a side of cheese bread sticks. I order my pizza with light sauce because in my opinion the default amount is too much, ordering this way garners a pie that is somewhat similar to a New York style pie. The bread sticks are great and flavorful. The dough for the bread sticks is fluffy and and textured. The prices are very competitive and the main draw for me. Outside of a busy Friday or near a holiday you can expect an above average experience at barros.
The reason for 3 stars is due to the customer experience when the place is busy. Before I continue it is important to note that any restaurant that is busy needs to be credited for it. Obviously they attract high volume for a reason, right? It appears that the staff becomes very overwhelmed and frustrated when experiencing high volume for pick ups and deliveries. One night I ordered a pizza and mozzarella sticks and went to pick up the order 40 min later. When I showed up my pizza had just come out of the oven. They placed it in the heater when I waited an additional 20 min for the mozzarella sticks. Other customers also experienced this issue. Their ovens were cranking out pizzas but their fryer station was unable to keep up.
