| - Bumping this up to 5 stars. My second time here is almost 2 years after Custom Built opened, woops! That shows you how often I go to the west side. My friend Nicole B.'s birthday is Tuesday and she gets married next weekend, so I decided to chill with her while her husband-to-be had his bachelor party which included Eric R.'s presence. NIcole B. wanted pizza - she was interested in trying something new. I suggested Custom Built - she got the groupon and we walked around the North Premium Outlets for 3 hours in preparation for dinner!
When we arrived, there was no wait which was great because we were starving. I ordered the regular crust, spicy diavola sauce and a few dabs of pistachio pesto, ricotta, buffalo and shredded mozzarella...and then here comes the veggies! Fresh tomatoes, artichokes, jalapenos, caramelized onions, eggplant...then I added chicken. They added a fried egg on top after cooking the pizza, then I asked for the toppings that are added after the pizza is cooked: fresh spinach, basil, green onions, cilantro, and sundried tomatoes. It was truly a work of art. It was cut into 8 slices this time rather than 4 like when I first got here. Nicole B. ordered the honey wheat crust for hers and she really liked it. I got a Mexican coke and we ordered the s'mores pizza. Since it was Nicole's birthday, it was "on the house"! The staff here was SOOOOO nice!
When our pizzas came out hot and delicious, I was so excited. Mine held up. I do like the thicker crust because it allows for tons of toppings. At Project Pie the crust was thinner and fewer toppings were recommended because the crust got wet while cooking. This is not the case here. We polished off our entire pizzas (no easy feat, seriously) and then chatted for awhile before asking the staff to fire up our dessert. When it arrived, our mini pizza was delivered smelling amazing. It was smeared with nutella and marshmallows that had a nice brown color on top. It was heavenly. I really am impressed and am somewhat relieved this is on the other side of town or I may be eating here too often. Luckily, we still have a groupon so hopefully Eric R. and I will be back soon! However, this was great for a girls night out!
