| - I was incredibly excited when a wine/ brick oven pizza bar opened in Homestead, because I live close by and am getting sick of going to the waterfront when I don't feel like driving far for a good meal/drink. When the boyfriend and I wanted to go somewhere on Friday for dinner and I was able to leave work early, my first thought was "Eighth and Hays happy hour!" We arrived a little after 5pm- the happy hour specials were all drink related. I took advantage of the $2 off cocktails special and enjoyed a margarita. It was really tasty- not too strong, salt & some spice along the rim and topped off with a pickled jalapeno and fresh lime. For our meals, I ordered the peach & prosciutto pizza and Brendan ordered the cuban sandwich with fries. I was blown away by the pizza- I am telling you, it was unbelievably delicious. The flavors worked SO well together- salty feta cheese, bitter arugula, sweet peaches, crunchy prosciutto.. it all just worked. The pizza crust was so flavorful and just delicious. I loved every bite and had to force myself not to overindulge and eat the entire pizza right then and there. Brendan liked his cuban sandwich a lot but probably wouldn't order it again because he found it was a little dry. The ambiance was just so perfect- relaxing and rustic. Fireplaces, couches, wooden tables, industrial chandeliers- I just loved it. The service was excellent as well. I seriously cannot wait to return! P.S. icing on the cake: parking was a breeze as well! you can park in the lot behind Eighth & Hays, or on the street out front.
