| - i've gone to bottega twice, the first time it was "ok", the second time it was terrible. i don't understand what the hype is, i love good pizza. i've had amazing pizza in rome, venice, boston, and nyc. i have to find great thin crust brick oven pizza in montreal and when i heard about bottega i thought "this is it! finally good pizza in montreal!" but alas, not to be. i judge a pizzeria by their margherita, if you can't make a good margherita pizza then whats the point. the first time my pizza had no cheese, and i mean maybe 20% coverage.. i would say a good thin crust pizza should have about 50% cheese coverage, a few nice pieces of fresh mozarella. the second time i come i ask for a little extra cheese to compensate for last time, and what i got was barely edible. it was as if the cheese and sauce had fused into this pink watery slime. the crust was soaked. it was one of the worst pizzas i've ever eaten.
maybe i need to give them another shot, but at what point do you stop giving a restaurant chances to get even the most basic things right? i don't recall the sauce being anything remarkable either.
