| - I heard that Pizzuvio was coming dtwn a year & a half ago, and when I noticed it was finally here I was super jazzed to try it. The inside of the place looks beautiful, very clean and current design. The concept is Neopolitan pizza and street food, served in the timeframe of fast food. Apparently 90 seconds to cook the pizza. It's from the pizza genius behind il Pizzaiolo, so you know it's gotta be great. I tried the Margherita D.O.C, which was like the standard Margherita except it had Mozzarella di Bufala instead of regular, and also Parmesan cheese. It was super fast, and looked delicious.... however definitely left something to be desired. The crust wasn't nearly as crunchy as expected, and disappointingly, the center of the pizza was just lukewarm. I also tried the arancino funghi, which is a fried ball of rice with cheese and mushrooms inside, served on a bed of marinara sauce. There a a few different varieties as well. When I cut into it tho, the center was also still cold. D'oh! I asked for it to be warmed up, and the staff was really nice and helpful, but when they brought it back (actually brought a whole new one) it was better, but STILL not hot on the inside. It also could have used more sauce than the tablespoon that came with it. So honestly, in general I was kinda disappointed. They just opened a month ago, so I imagine are feeling things out and working out the kinks of a new business/concept right now. And, I'd be totally fine with it taking a little longer if it was as good as il Pizzaiolo. Will definitely be back to try again in a few weeks!
