| - Ok, so pizza is one of my "things." I love it. I know the science behind good pizza. I've had pizzas all over the USA.
I am the pizza man.
So I happened across this yelp page about three weeks ago and thought I would give it a chance. Everybody kept mentioning the garlic knots, and the place had a great score, so I thought, why not?
Anyway, since that day I've purchased at least 7 times from Bistro Pizza! I can't get enough!
THIS IS THE BEST PIZZA IN HENDERSON.
Let's go over it in detail:
Dough: Obviously made from scratch. I can tell that each batch varies slightly in gluten development because some days the crust has been a little chewier or a little less chewy. The chef stretches the dough by hand - an absolute must to get the perfect pizza crust. The made-from-scratch dough is the BEST because you end up with that chewy, flavorful crust that makes ALL the difference. I'm assuming it's the same dough used in the garlic knots, which disappear like cocaine in a rehab facility.
Sauce: I'm not 100% this is home-made, but it sure tastes like it is. It is good. Not too strong and paste-y like pizza hut, not bland like so many other places. It has a great acidity and tomato flavor. If the pizza has a weak point it's the sauce, but if that's the weak point, it's not very weak at all.
Toppings: Great toppings. Obviously there's a certain "standard" that every pizza place meets in what it uses for toppings, however, one thing I love about Bistro Pizza is that they don't skimp to save a few cents like many other places do. You can watch the chef make your pie and he isn't skimpy with the cheese or toppings.
Price: just right. Very competitive prices and you get the highest quality pie in the area.
Garlic knots, as I mentioned, are wonderful pizza-dough creations. For bread-lovers like me, they're perfect.
Speed is great. It's not a factory like pizza hut or dominoes, obviously, but they compete time-wise. A lunch of a small pizza and soda could easily be had in a half hour.
