Overall experience: 7.5/10
Although my scores would indicate that I would give a 3/5 stars, I am giving this pizzeria 2/5 because I really expected better. And while it is unfair to blame an establishment for the reputation that precedes it, potentially furthered by great Yelp reviews, I do and rightly so.
My date and I shared the calamari to start. I liked that it came with a red pepper sauce, something different for a deep-fried plate, but in the end, that's really all it was. A deep-fried plate with red pepper sauce.
We each had a pizza - 1 cremini mushroom (with your good rosemary, thyme, mozzarella, etc) and 1 that I don't remember the name of. It was a meat pizza and had basil in it (insert more generic Italian language here).
The pizza was hot - a plus. But honestly, I was disappointed. The flavours seemed to falter - I kept on adding chili flakes to mine in hopes of giving it some punch, and the thrill of discovering a great pizza joint slowly wilted in my mouth and my head.
The bottom line: the food ain't bad, but it will not be your go-to pizza joint for sure.
