| - Decent pizza -- freshly made. We had the vodka type with fresh roasted red peppers -- the peppers were fantastic , so sweet!-- the best I've ever had on a pizza! But, there wasn't enough flavor overall. It would have been fantastic with some fresh oregano! I also would have loved more cheese, or fresh mozzarella on the vodka type of pizza.
The place is huge, cool, and very clean. They have a wide variety of Gelato flavors: Chocolate, which was incredibly rich and delicious. And, my favorite: Honey Sunflower: wow! what a surprise! It was so fresh, so creamy, and so filled with the delight of honey! It reminds me so much of a Greens' Cookbook recipe for Honey Mousse (served with raspberries and figs). The Honey Sunflower Seed gelato made me dream of Summer!
Though we had take-out, the customer service (which normally, you don't have a lot of during take-out), was fabulous. The young woman who waited on us was so friendly and helpful. When we got gelato to go, she put it in a cup holder. Awesome.
I can see that Azzeria will become really popular in the future, particularly if they use more fresh basil or oregano and a bit more cheese, because of the freshness of their flavors, the friendliness of their staff, and the bright colorfulness (just what you need in winter!) of their restaurant.
Incidentally, besides the pizza and gelato, they serve salads, sandwiches, AND breakfast. Parking is easy since it's in a lot with lots of stores and the new Giant Eagle, and prices are moderate. Again, you can't go wrong with their gelato!
