| - First visit last night after hearing rave reviews. The place was jammed tight, and the noise level extremely loud. There are definitely more tables crammed into the space than their web site shows in the photos. The service was excellent with a menu limited to pizza, sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. Everything served looked great on other tables.
The stuffed figs were delicious. The cheese filing overwhelmed the taste of the figs, but the honey drizzled over was a nice touch. The caprese salad was not quite as good as home made, but definitely better than most places. The imported mozzarella seemed a bit old. They smashed it down between the halved cherry tomatoes and it was a little too firm to be fresh. Our pizzas came separately, and the ingredients tasted all fresh. My only complaint was that they left almost 2 1/2" of bare crust all the way around the 12" pie. I would have preferred the fixings to go all the way up to the edge, or at least within 1" of it. Having to eat that much dry crust was a waste, with nothing to dip it into in lieu of more fixins. $16 for a pie should buy me a little more goodies.
It's BYOB and we brought our own wine. Dinner for two pizzas, one salad, and one appetizer was over $70.
With too much empty crust and the really loud noise level, I'm only giving it 3 stars.
