| - O.k., it's in a mall and pizza was not the greatest in the world, but this place exceeded my expectations. FIrst, service was great. Went there with 4 kids, and very friendly and competent waiter brought them small rounds of dough with a pizza pan. What a great, simple idea. The dough occupied all children (ages 3-9) the entire meal. THey made fake pies, desserts, etc. Next, I could not choose between two white wines and waiter described them like he knew them and then offered me a taste of each. Wow. Again, very simple and inexpensive for the restaurant, but meant so much to me. They won me over at this point. Again, when I was thinking of a red wine to have with pizza, he gave me a taste of a delicious blend from Paso Robles. Pizzas were good. We had two, both with red sauce. One with sausage, the other with meatballs, ricotta and garlic on half, the other half being olives and mushrooms. Tasty and fresh. Sauce is a little sweet and not herbified with oregano or thyme. People can endlessly argue about pizza styles, sauce, etc., and I am one them, and, I can say a sweeter sauce is usually not my style, but I found the sauce pretty good. The crust was a littler thicker then I expected, but was cooked until dark and crispy. Overall a B+ pizza. The garden salad was $5 and was fresh and big enough for me and my two kids. I did not eat dessert, but friends said cheesecake very good. This is a solid place with great customer service.
