| - Stopped by after visiting the market on a Saturday morning and had a really good experience.
I was lucky enough to sneak in right before the lunch crowd started filing in, so we got a good table and friendly server with time to help me and my toddler settle down.
Then I ordered a pizza and a small meatballs appetizer with the idea of sharing both with the toddler. The pizza I chose was the simplest one: tomato sauce, no cheese and a bit of arugula. I loved it! The sauce is well balanced with just spicyness to make your mouth tingle, but not so much to light a fire, a bit of sweetness and a nice guilty/spicy note coming from the olive oil. I would have made it a tad less sweet, but I know I'm in the minority's there. The spicy was a bit much for the toddler: she tasted the sauce and made all sorts of funny faces after which she decided to stick to the crust. Which was also good: thin, crispy, chewy and with some smokiness coming from the burnt dough blisters.
I found the meatballs more forgettable. They were good, but not special. They had some nice porky notes as if they had bacon or sausage in the mix, but I found them a tiny bit under flavored. Might have been salt or the wrong mix of spices, there was just something missing.
We ended up at around $16 which I thought was pretty fair. But I do agree with some of the reviews that though some of the pizzas were overpriced!
Anyway, planning to go back with husband possibly to try the steel on pizza (sadly not available at lunch)
