3.5 Stars
Got here about 7:15 on a Saturday night and as previously mentioned in a few reviews the place was almost empty. We were one of three parties. This made me nervous but I trust in yelp like I trust in google maps. If it says turn here.. i turn.. even if I wonder why.
I was REALLY nervous when I took a look at the house pies. They were far from pretty or fresh. I had a group so we ordering a whole pizza.
We settled on:
Whitestone Bridge(Tomato Sauce, Ricotta, Meatballs and Prosciutto):
First thing I notice was that the crust was pretty thick for thin crust. Wasn't thick enough to be called anything else. It came out blistering hot but everything was holding together.
Was time for that first bite.. was this going to be another tasteless crust Arizona "ny style" pizza? Hrmmmm crunchy yet chewy. Wait... wait I taste something.. salty, yeasty.. ok cool the crust actually has a flavor. Wow this isn't half bad. The crust stood its ground until the last two pieces when crust failure set in at the very center of the pizza.
The mozzarella is high quality real cheese. The ricotta is sweet and creamy. It had some caramelized onions on it which weren't listed as a topping but were a great addition. The meatballs were a-ok. Only thing I didn't like was the prosciutto because it wasn't real.. it was more of a salami. If it had been topped at the end with real paper thin prosciutto it would have been 4 stars easily.
The sauce was very thin the pie could have used maybe 1/4 more then it had. The sauce is pretty good a little on the sweet side. Nice strong fresh herb flavor.
Garlic Knots(6 Twists of Pizza Dough Tossed in Herbs and Roasted Garlic Served with Marinara Sauce):
Simple rustic preparation with a side of their sauce. No complaints other then a little on the over done side.
This place is good enough to add to the list of pizza places worth a return visit.
