| - Set across from the Burton Barr Library this place seems more like a bar with a street-side cafe attached, where the burgers and salads shine, but the namesake pizza falls short.
Me and my co-workers stopped in for lunch one day and were greeted by a friendly and enthusiastic staff. The place was empty; I mean we were one of only two parties there, but it was still only quarter of 12:00.
I ordered the Testosteroni pizza, a meat-lovers pizza, and in a city that has award winning pizzerias, this was just passable. The approximately 9 inch thin crust was nicely cooked, however lacked any flavor. The toppings, although ample, did not play nice together, and ended up leaving the palate in a state of confusion. The sauce and cheese where just overpowered and almost seemed like a second thought. Even the visual appeal of this pizza was off. Each half looked liked it came from different pizzas (see pix). This was definitely a "pub" pizza.
That being said, the burgers and salads that my co-workers ordered looked appealing, were made with fresh ingredients, and were enjoyed by all.
Overall I would be willing to return to try some of the other selections, but I will go elsewhere for pizza...
