| - Barro's in da house. They recently opened nearby and I've been anxiously awaiting this event. Last night I did a takeaway so I could enjoy the Olympics with my pizza.
Calling in the order was easy, I checked the menu online, which is extensive, but I went with a standard order - large pizza with Black Olive and Pepperoni and a dozen hot wings. Girl on the phone says pizza will be ready in 15-20 minutes at 5:30pm I think this is a reflection of how new they are, only open for two weeks. I imagine that prep time will increase as their presence becomes known.
So, I go down to pick up my stuff, and the dining room is nice with a big dividing wall separating the dining room from a counter with three cashiers and about six draft beers on tap. It was nice, but three cashiers? Maybe they are a bit too optimistic, I don't see people lining up like at In and Out.
I get the pie home and it looks wonderful. A thick, chewy crust with a bit of crunch to it, lots of real mozzarella cheese (not that blended shit others use), and a decent arrangement of 'roni and olives. It looked delish. The dozen wings were not as hot as I prefer, but the wife says they were hot enough for her. The wings were large and meaty and came with three sticks of celery and some Ranch dipping sauce. You could choose Blue Cheese as well. Love the wings.
The pizza was well-distributed with toppings and came with a decent amount of sauce. The sauce was a bit too sweet for our liking, and that was a bit off-putting, but I gotta give props for otherwise a decent pie. I think Barro's will do fine in this neighborhood, but for me, sweet sauce is a no, so I don't think I will be back for pizza. I still give them four stars because everything else was spot-on. Maybe next time I'll try a sandwich instead.
