| - I gotta admit...I had mediocre expectations for Italian Pie...but they were completely put to rest after last night's meal! Hooray for good 'za.
Give me a thin, crispy, garlic dusted crust and a tasty pie and I'm hooked. We met some friends here early on a Monday evening and not only had some great food, but really solid and friendly service too. The beer and wine list is decent - although I be they could add a few more local beers on tap in time. The interior hasn't changed too much since Sole - similar layout, yet cozy. Here are a few things I snacked on last night with a table of friends...
Fried cheese sticks: 2/5: A bit unremarkable overall. The cheese was *fine* and marinara dipping sauce had a nice flavor to it but it was very thin. And two out the six cheese sticks were without cheese. Yep, just fried fakers.
Garlic cheese bread: 5/5: Um, hello lover. This little app came out as a tiny cheese pizza pie drizzled with (what I assume to be) garlic oil. It was hot and cheesy and garlicky and damn delicious.
Margherita pizza: 4.5/5: Our server recommended this pie and I ordered it with trepidation...I say it that way because margherita pies tend to be pretty bland. But oh no, not this pie. It was packed full of flavor - plenty of pepper, garlic, two types of cheese, fresh tomato and that really perfect crust. My only tiny ish? It was fairly greasy underneath - but no worries, I'll blot that right off. Go go flavor explosion.
Get ye some pizza and try out Italian Pie...delizioso!
