| - I've tried this place twice and, although there are a few kinks to work out, I hope it will be a regular part of my lunch rotation.
The first time I ate here was an evening just a few days after they opened. I customized a bianco pizza and it was delicious--albeit a little light on toppings. The only problem was that the oven wasn't working properly and--the promise of having your pizza cooked in 150 seconds--took more than 15 minutes. Luckily, I wasn't in a hurry. Although, because of the oven issue, they did stop accepting orders and were turning people away at the door after I got my order.
I returned after the lunch rush a week or two later and speed wasn't an issue. However, the person making my same custom white pizza put entirely too much cheese and garlic on the pie. So much that it was incredibly greasy and the crust could not support the weight of the toppings--making it rather difficult to eat. No only that, but there were big clumps of garlic that crunched when biting into a slice. Yet another problem was that the outer edges of crust were burnt to a nearly ash-like consistency. So, needless to say, my second pizza wasn't nearly as good as the first.
I'm optimistic that the opening kinks will get worked out soon and am crossing my fingers that my third visit is a charm with just the right amount of toppings on a properly cooked crust. In the meantime, my opinion is that this place is worth trying. You may just want to have a plan B should the line be too long or the oven not working properly.
As for the price, if the quality issues get worked out, I think it's fairly reasonable. It would be nice though if you could add a small drink and walk out for under $10.
