| - I feel like I am being overly critical lately but...
First: great beer selection. Awesome. I would go back for the beer (so maybe this is a 3 star review?). Bartenders were mixed on friendliness, one was really nice and friendly and another just seemed surly. we all have bad days though.
ordered the meat pizza with sausage only on half (nice bartender suggested that when we were discussing if we really wanted sausage). Ordered it "lightly done" as we saw lots of pies coming out with really burnt (you can call it charred but it was straight up black charcoal looking). Great.
So then the pie comes out (i will try to remember to upload picture) and two of the slices' crusts are WAY burnt. WAYYYY burnt. we're like, huh, lightly done? ok. but we were hungry. after taking a bite, it seemed that the "lightly done" had to do with the rest of the crust. it was not raw or anything like that, but just not that good either. no crispiness or anything; sort of like a microwave pizza. and maybe that's on us for ordering lightly done, but I thought that was a pretty standard thing (at my fav place Picco, it's on their menu that the crusts come out charred so order lightly done if you don't want it). But even pretending that we didn't order the pie lightly done, we did order sausage on half. and you guessed it, sausage was on the entire thing. and I know it sounds like we were being difficult, but A) the bartender suggested that and B) it wasn't busy. next issue: they left the bacon off of the pizza. the bartender quickly took care of this by essentially throwing some bacon on it, but...
also, it seemed that they made a margharita pizza and then just threw the toppings on top (sort of like the bartender did with the bacon). maybe that is just how they do it there but I like when the stuff is all cooked and integrated together, not thrown on top at the end.
so, because it is a pizza spot and our pizza was sub-par, I'm going 2 stars. And it could be on us for not ordering standard, I know, but...
I will say that the people next to us got pasta and it looked pretty dang good. I would probably go back for drinks and, if people wanted, try the food again, but I wouldn't make it a destination spot and I personally wouldn't order the pizza.
