It was an uncommonly rainy night when I met a friend here for dinner and drinks so the patio area was closed. I was sad that I couldn't enjoy the patio because it was honestly the one thing that really drew me in from the photos I saw here from other yelpers. The interior was as packed as a small place this could be. At this point I'm a little unsure about staying, no patio and tight quarters.
The staff was immediately very happy to see me and showed no signs they were at all put out by the weather.
I ordred a beer and the pizza of the day. The waitress tried to tell me what was on the pizza of the day but I really wanted to be surprised so I asked her to stop. All she got out was "it's called black and blue". I was told the beer I wanted wasn't in stock or going to be carried anymore so I said surprise me with a random beer that is similar. They brought me one of my favorites so I was very happy with their choice. The pizza took a lot longer to come out than I would have expected but I really didn't mind. The atmosphere was so comfortable that had I not looked at the time I wouldn't have realized so much of it had passed.
The pizza was great, I had fun figuring out why they called it Black and Blue and the waitress asked me if I had figured it out. The blue cheese flavor wasn't overpowering nor was the blackened steak. It was a very well balanced flavor over all and I enjoyed every bite.
I'm sure I'll be back so I can explore more of their menu and hopefully try out the patio area.
