| - This was my second time eating dinner at the new Plaza Midwood Pizza Peel. I'd eaten at the Cotswold one once or twice but it never really blew my skirt up for some reason. I really like the Plaza Midwood location though. I got there early and sipped on a Brooklyn Porter while I waited for the hubs to meet me after work. (The draft beer list is good - something for everyone I think.) The waitress was super friendly and let me sit there and read my book in peace while I waited and drank my beer. Hubs showed up after about ten minutes and we started perusing the menu.
We both decided on pizza, though last time I had one of the pastas and it was really good. I was curious to try the pizza to see how it compared to the other spot. Turns out it's way better. The crust was thin but not crispy and there was just the right amount of cheese and sauce. It seemed a lot less greasy than the one I had at Cotswold too. I like my pizza plain, but hubs tried the hot chipotle tomato sauce and some meats (and anchovies, ew). He was super excited about his pie and he's pretty picky about REALLY liking something. I tend to think he LIKES just about everything, but raves about very few things. So I knew it must be good. I think the flavor, consistency and ingredients all came together nicely and it was just really good, simple pizza.
This location does get pretty noisy when it gets busy, which I experienced last time but not this one. It was a slower night. Also, the patio comprises a few long picnic tables, so even though it was beautiful outside, I opted to sit inside since there were only going to be two of us. But we were seated right next to one of the large garage door windows, which was open to a screen door and it let in some of the lovely afternoon. It's a good spot to people watch as people walk by on Central.
All in all, this was a really positive visit with good food and good service. We'll definitely be back.
