| - This was my third time here. The first two times was in the first month of it's opening. Last Friday evening, reinforced my previous opinions.
The pizza is good. Yes, it's fresh. The service is adequate (not horrible, but nothing to rave about). The ambiance is simple.
However, when it comes down to it - it's pizza. Every time, I have still left hungry because I like to eat. One slice at Pizza Sola is more sufficient than a personal pie at Dinette (and 1/3 the price).
I understand I am paying for "quality", which it is; however, the pies aren't all that impressive in terms of creativity and inventiveness. My boyfriend had the Ricotta Pie (tomato, mozzarella, basil leaves); I had the Zucchini pie (mozzarella, onion, olive, and rosemary). My boyfriend's pie had 4 small pieces of basil leaves on it - so much for wanting to taste basil. The sad thing about my pie, I ate the entire thing and tasted rosemary about three times; while the zucchini was unevenly placed and the onions and olives almost non-existent. The crust was burnt on one end, but I dont mind a crunchy pizza. The flat bread pie is good when the plate first hits the table, but after your first slice, the center of the pie starts to get soggy. Towards the end of your pie, unless you're a champion speed eater, the pizza is soggy to the bone. But there is mozzarella on EVERY pie; so not too many options for the lactose intolerant (goat cheese anyone?). There is even proof of this Mozzarella overload on their recycled business cards with their summer hours printed on it; on the back, you can see it's an old menu with the words "mozzarella" running down the entire card. My boyfriend and I got a chuckle.
I'm still waiting to be blown away with this place, but its just not there for me. In the end, my boyfriend and I went home and still made Shakeology meal replacements for "dessert", which was way tastier, more filling, and includes more organic ingredients than our $50 appetizer "meal" at Dinette.
