The entire pizza experience is determined by what manner you choose to eat your pizza. A lively topic of conversation ensued on our UYE about proper technique. Turns out Loren F. and I are the fork and knife users. Antonio preferred the folded pizza and eating it by hand technique. Seems the rest of the table preferred the pick it up and eat it without folding it technique.
There's nothing better to go with pizza than good company. Michele H. was kind enough to prepare a large table for our group complete with appetizers and a little table for the kiddos to work on their coloring projects.
To the pizza itself, I ordered two slices of the vegetarian. I posted those pictures for your review. I believe I am correct in that this would be equivalent to four pieces of pizza anywhere else. I was very happy with the taste of my pizza, the ratio of sauce to veggies was just right and the individual tastes of the vegetables really popped in my mouth. I couldn't finish my two slices so I ended up sharing it with Loren F. and Skyler and LJ.
As far as the atmosphere goes, it was like a cute side street pizzeria you might expect to find in "Bowston". I appreciated the themed pictures, jerseys, Red Sox paraphanelia. I don't get the large Citgo sign next to the drink machine, seems to detract from the rest of the memorabilia.
I did look over at Marie T. dabbing the grease off the pepperoni and cheese. That was a big negative to me. From what I have been taught, the better meats and cheeses don't pool grease on the top of the pizza when cooked so that was a negative to me. That's the reason for my rating.
All in all, though I think everyone enjoyed their meal and the fried dough was very popular. I decided to stay away from the garlic knots, fried dough but did indulge in a few fries. The service was very attentive and I believe we were all happy about that.
I'd say this is a great place to bring kids or a small group for some thin crust pizza.
