| - I was going to let it pass and not write anything until I got up motivation to give them another chance but after the couple of amazing afterglow reviews I had to write to give warning: "Your experience may differ. " We arrived after 9 and despite their closing at 10, if not exactly feeling of leisure, there was not one of being rushed, though we had a feeling the kitchen was. Food, 2 pizzas, arrived promptly, one good, the goat cheese pizza, though have had better for less elsewhere, the other with prosciutto, "extra crispy". Blackened burnt crust utterly devoid of any trace of moisture - dry dry dry. Hard & brittle.
Liked the general ambiance though rather dark to read the menus and the noise level was rather high. Service was decent and fast. After having just recently made first visit to the Parlor however, it was a poor showing by comparison as far as taste & price. "Gourmet" indeed.
Based on this one single visit, to paraphrase a quote mis-attributed to Winston Churchill, Humble Pie has much to be humble about. I'll give them another chance, but probably not until there's another Groupon or Monsoon Deal.
