| - I should start to lower my expectations when I try out new places. Recently I've been walking into over-hyped places only to get an average experience.
Its 4 pm on a Wednesday afternoon, and the place barely has 1-2 families eating there. That's ok, it must just be the time of day. I like the quiet, peaceful restaurants anyways. Cool decorations, a nice variety of seating, and dirty plates on the tables seemed to be the norm. My plate along with my significant other's plate had weird dirt, or ash from coal on it. Seriously? If I'm paying $15 for a 12" pizza I'm hoping the plates I get are at least clean. Oh well, what can I expect, I'm in Scottsdale.
This is totally the "trust-fund-pizza-place". Pretty much every family dining here was sippin' on dat kriss. Ok, maybe not Hypnotik, but they were ALL drinking fine wine. I don't drink alcohol, but still, this place seemed a little too posh for me. I just wanted to see what the buzz was about.
We got half plain-red and half-'white' with garlic. The traditional pizza was pretty darn good, the sauce was probably some of the most perfect sauce I've had, and there was enough cheese on there, but not enough to make the pizza ridiculously oily. However, don't go in here thinking you're gonna get as much cheese as a Pizza Hut pizza. The white side was pretty good as well, the garlic taste was subtle despite the large amounts of minced garlic. The only downside is that the white pizza had way too much cheese in contrast to the other side, and thus it was a little bit too oily. To make things worse, the worst part about the pizza was that the crust was too crispy. Gourmet, wood-fire? That's cool and all, but no one likes an overdone crust that is essentially a cracker with (sauce and) melted cheese. This was sort of the deal breaker for me unfortunately. I thought the rest of the pizza was tasty, but I had a hard time understanding the rough crust.
Its funny because they had like 30 employees there when I went. It was rather annoying to see a bunch of employees joking around, walking around aimlessly, and needlessly destroying the atmosphere of a cool restaurant. Don't get me wrong, the pizza isn't spectacular, but it's a cool place to go for a business meeting or to treat your significant other. I wonder if my pizza is overpriced because the place is overstaffed?
If you have a trust fund this place will be your favorite place. If you don't, then you'll come here once and only once just to say you've been here. If you don't follow hype, then don't worry about making your way over ehre.
