| - Read the reviews and couldn't wait to try this place.. that was my first mistake, I should have waited a long LONG time ;)
Firstly, the restaurant is located in a small strip mall with some funky parking. Went in, was impressed with the cleanliness and it certainly smelled wonderful. Hubby was hungry, so he ordered the chips and dip, 2 garlic rolls, and a large pizza.. I quickly changed it to a small pizza, and I'm doubly glad that I did.
Chips and dip arrived - hubby thought they were both fantastic. I thought they were good, but hardly "life altering". The chips are homemade, no salt on them, and fried until hard. They're too thick to be called crispy. The dip was called Ranch and it was all you tasted.. Ranch dressing. If there were other seasonings in there, they were lost.
Then the pizza arrived, and we reminded the guy about our garlic rolls. He quickly returned with 2 foil wrapped rolls. Hubby opened his and tasted it immediately.. then set it down and never picked it up again. He said it was cold and boring, so I didn't open mine at all - not going to waste time on something that bad.
The pizza toppings were fresh and the crust was crispy. Not thin, not thick, but sturdy. However, the sauce had virtually no seasonings to it - a frozen pizza generally has more flavor than this did. There was a shaker of oregano and another of garlic located with the shakers of pepper flakes and dried parmesan cheese.. once those were added, then it was okay. I have serious issues with a pizza that has to be seasoned afterwards.. isn't that the cook's job?
I had one slice, hubby had two.. and we tossed half the small pizza as not worth saving.
On a plus note, the fountain coke tasted great ;)
