| - Well, having gone to a really great real NY style pizza joint on a recent trip to St. Simons Island, GA, I was craving some good pizza back home in Charlotte. I looked up what was near me on my tripadvisor app on my iPhone, and saw this place, which had gotten decent reviews. I thought, what the heck.
Well, we started with the bruschetta and some wings as an appetizer. The bruschetta sure didn't seem like an authentic one, judging by the tomatoes, dried basil leaves, and shredded mozzarella, but tasted decent. Wings were okay, a little on the greasy side, but the taste was fine, and I like that they were baked.
But, the pizza, supposedly the hallmark of this particular place? Blah. Sauce barely there, and not sweet tomato taste. Crust was nice. I got pepperoni and mushrooms, and yes, as listed on another review, these were your standard canned mushrooms, nothing about our pizza said, "Hey, this is an authentic, fresh Italian inspired pizza!" My wife and I rattled off about a dozen places better than this, heck, my wife even said Papa Johns.
Service was sparse, but friendly. We are still looking for the best in Charlotte to eat some wings and good pizza. Oh, well.
