| - Got a chance to try Five 50 today on my buddy's poker comp dollars - the only way I would feel like I would eat a 28 dollar pizza :\
The pizzas were excellent, both in quality and taste. Certainly, this isn't delivery pizza, and is a just a notch above a CPK. The crust is fluffy and yet at the same time crisp, and the toppings are clearly of a high quality.
We tried the Blanca with spicy italian sausage and the Truffle as well. We enjoyed both of them thoroughly.
Certainly, you are paying a premium here. 22 (cheese) to 29 (truffle) for a (non gigantic) pizza is at best considered "casino" pricing, and at worst, just flat out a rip-off. I don't think I could even justify coming here to spend 5.50 on a slice, as the slices aren't really "meal" sized like some places.
We also had the pork belly appetizer, which, when digested with all the ingredients in a single bite, was just absolutely incredibly. Still, it would be 15 dollars had we been paying ourselves.
In the end, it wasn't a bad experience at all - in fact, service was really good and we came away very happy. However, the bill without consideration of comps would have been 100 dollars before tip (3 beers too). That's a lot for a pizza meal! It was good, but not THAT good...
