| - I'm with Sandra M. on this one guys. Casanova Brothers is just - aight. I ordered 1 slice of pepperoni and a drink to go. Because I mentioned that it was my first ever visit, they gave me a free order of garlic dough knots. Now that was real cool and unexpected.
When I walked in, the atmosphere was friendly from the staff, though I felt awkward when the 6 or so customers in the restaurant all stopped and turned to see who was coming in. ... I suppose my presence has that effect on people. I mean, I WAS wearing these awesome sunglasses. My fave. Maybe I looked like a celebrity... Imagine the light hitting my face just right, and the draft from the door blowing my hair in just the right direction... Yeah, that was it. I am a celebrity. For a hot second.
All right, all right - the dream is over. Back to the pizza: My slice of pepperoni was good. The crust had a good balance of crisp and soft all the way through, the sauce tasted authentic though forgettable, and the pepperoni looked generic but had the right amount of crisp to it and no floating grease. That's important.
The real downer were the dough knots. Ew. I was looking forward to these. The instructions on the Styrofoam container said something like "heat for 30 seconds in microwaveable container." I did that and ended up with overheated, extra tough dough knots. Boo.
My previous pizza-by-the-slice restaurant nearest me moved or closed or something. It was my favorite. So I was hoping to find an alternative. Jury's still out on that one...
I could easily give my experience 2 stars. BUT, three stars for the free dough knots (even though I threw them away). The gesture was thoughtful enough to warrant a return visit. (Side note: My Coke was delicious from the self-serve fountain. It had the perfect amount of syrup to carbonated water. But I didn't come for the Coke...)
