| - I'm not a yelper. Which is funny because I am so opionated; additionally, I'm always out and about trying everything once. Nonetheless, sometimes, just sometimes, I feel compelled to write a review.
Today is one of those times.
I love Bistro Pizza. It's simple, it's descent and it's close to home.
Let me break down my rating which is more a 3.5 than a 4:
Food- Their pizza is descent. It's not the best but it will do. That being said.... The pizza sauce is good. Generally speaking, the ingredients used, across the board, are quality. There's room for improvement with their knots, house fries and chicken wings/fingers - they are handled with a sense of obligation in that they really only serve them because they are a pizza joint and it's expected. However, their pasta dishes are legit. Delicious for the most part. Seriously eat the pasta. Especially if it's a daily special.
Service- I am guessing they are under new mgmt. The last two times I've been here the only owner known to me (the Alton Brown look alike) hasn't been there. Seems odd since I've never not seen him there in the past years+. Anyhow, the guy who I am assuming is Tyler (dark goatee in a ball cap) appears to be the new owner or manager. He knows his customers well and treats everyone like guests in his home. He's definitely got a lock on how to run the "kitchen" and you can tell he cares about his employees because you can hear him giving kudos left and right.
That being said... It's got a rather fraternal feel to it now. It's like if your older, cooler brother invited a few friends over and was like "Dude let's cook stuff and sell it" and they agreed. So service is spotty if you're eating in and Tyler isn't up front. Also, if you're dining in, don't be surprised if you have to ask for stuff multiple times and inquire about the rest of your order if they get busy while you are there. It can get a little tense when you can see (and hear) all that's going on.
We just left the restaurant about an hour ago. And I can't close this review out without bringing up Lavelle (sp?) I believe another reviewer mentioned him a few reviews ago. He is the reason for my review ultimately. He could probably run the bistro by himself.
During our dinner I can't count how many times I heard the manager or another employee bellowing for his assistance. And everytime there he was whisking from one task to the next without hesitation. Despite his workload I saw him go out of his way to keep an eye on the diners and their needs. Our table included. I really hope he is shown the appreciation he is due.
So...long review short. Good place. Give it a try. I keep going back and likely will again.
Ps. It's always hot in there regardless of the season but you get use to it.
