| - I recently tried out this place after seeing high praise on Yelp and other sites.
On first impression, the outside is quite unassuming. I have walked past this place numerous times (I live two streets north) and have not noticed it, due to it's limited promotion on the exterior. I generally assumed it was a practice of some sort without really looking at it.
As we walked in we were confused as to if we should seat ourselves or not. Waited two minutes and a server looked at us but did not greet us. We sat ourselves.
As other reviewers have commented, the décor inside is quite dated. It reminded me of a restaurant you'd go to with family from the '90s that hasn't changed since.
Upon entering the restaurant (on a Saturday night), I believe my girlfriend and I were the only people under 50 (with the exception of a family with a young child). This threw us off a bit, but wasn't really that important as a whole, just interesting to see. Another younger couple walked in about halfway through our meal.
We both ordered pizza, of course. Hawaiian and a chicken-based one were our choices to share. The were quite simple, basic, a refreshing change to today's trend of trying to stand out with non-traditional toppings and styles. The pizza itself was pretty good. Size was acceptable, not giant, but not small. It was cooked well. The toppings were good, but nothing outstanding. I am an absolute cheese lover, however, it ALMOST had too much, which is tough for me to say. It borderline overpowered everything else about the 'za. If they could lighten up JUST A BIT, this would be an excellent 4 star pizza. In it's current form, I give it a 3.
I would go back sometime, but it won't become my go-to restaurant for a favourite dinner.
