| - My 1st time at Full Circle was unfortunate, to put it mildly! But since Yelp loves this place I found myself wanting to go back. I'm glad I listened to yelp. ;p This place is pretty damn good!
The 1st time I was here was on Pi day (March 14) get it? hehehe ;p Full circle was hosting a free pizza, pizza party. So of course I stopped by. Unfortunately they weren't organized enough or prepared enough for the masses of excited people! There was a really, really, really long wait at the door and when you got to the front of the line they couldn't tell you anything; no wait time or explanation about the event. Just lots of people standing around being confused, and lots of staff standing around also confused. I did eventually get a slice of free pizza as promised, but even though the pizza was delicious, the ordeal of the "party" pretty much sucked all the positives away! :(
On my latest visit it was a totally different experience! No chaos, very orderly, good service! Definitely a relief, otherwise I'd be really worried about this place, since I went on a regular Saturday and all.
The tails of "buck-a-shuck" drew me back. It's not entirely $1 per oyster for all oysters, it's actually $2 off all their oysters. So, the regular lowest cost $3 ones turns into $1 each, but their more expensive oysters cost a little more than a buck a piece. It's still a fantastic deal though. I highly, highly recommend going if you like oysters!!
I also go a pie, of course! :)
They have quite a few appealing choices but I settled on the Beef Carpaccio Pizza. It's exceptionally good!!! The crust is crispy and thin. Not super thin but a good, hand tossed kinda thin. It's very well cooked, not burnt, wasn't soggy in the centre, it's just a good crust all around! They also didn't skimp on the beef. This pie is literally shingled over with beef! There's a nice bit of mustard on each slice, as well as a pile of arugula salad in the centre so you can customize your slice to taste. Oh, and the hot chilli oil comes with the pizza no need to ask! ;)
I find the best tasting slice (personally) is to spread the entire dollop of mustard evenly over the whole slice of pizza, lightly drizzle some hot oil over the wedge and top it off with a single layer of fresh arugula. This gives a great balanced bite! I'm sure you already know that mustard and beef go well together. *cough* hot dogs and mustard *cough* The heat/tang from the mustard brings out more meaty flavour! (Seriously, it's science!) The arugula adds a nice bit of freshness and since I like spicy, the chilli oil punches it up just a bit.
Ok maybe your screen has gone dark once or twice already reading my long ass review but one more quick recommendation:
Get a cocktail from this place! Any cocktail!
I got to try their smokey old fashioned and that was delicious! No joke on the smokiness but the taste is not purely charred wood. The walnut bitters work super well with the smoke and whisky, it's delicious. I also had the Paper Plane, a beautiful cocktail, that's also very, very tasty. You pretty much can't go wrong with a cocktail here!
In summary:
Maybe skip celebrating Pi day at Full Circle... They're not the best at open invite free pizza parties yet.
Definitely go any other time, especially 2 hours before they close for buck-a-shuck oysters! It's not $1 for all oysters but they are all discounted so it's still a great deal!
Don't miss out on their pizzas! Loved the Beef Carpaccio!
Have some cocktails too! Their bar game is strong!
Cheers & Enjoy
