| - Well, we were swayed by the reviews and good press, so we went. Not overly impressed, but I guess it is in what one is looking for. This place has one size pizza, 11 inch, and a pizza variety limited to eight or so. None are standard Italian fare. Salads are limited to two pretty ordinary selections. Our pizza was VERY salty, with a remarkable blandness. My wife, who has a very limited capacity for pizza was still hungry after we split a salad and a pizza. Also, beware ordering the $3 bottle of water. It is very large but non-branded. Folks who like this type of pizza are those taken with botique kinds of food given a liking for something non-traditional. Pizza Bianco folks would be happy with this as would Barrio Mexican food fans. For us, these offerings were lacking in flavor, spice and quantity. I'm sure the quality of ingredients is good as the proprietor seems to take great care with his product. However, in the final analysis, we cannot agree with any 5 star rating.
PS. The owner responded to my comments saying he was happy to be compared to Pizza Bianco and Barrio. I wasn't suggesting those spots were bad. However, what they offer is "Foofey Food." If that is the kind of fare one likes, so be it. For those looking for something more substantial, "Foofey Food" doesn't do the trick.
