| - After hearing about this place from multiple people over the past year, we finally made the trek out last night to check out the establishment. Usually when we hear about a place (or anything in general to be honest), the over-hype usually comes with less than stellar results.
The reviews were spot on.
We ordered two pizzas, one red (Cerino), one white (Wild Mushroom), and for dessert, the wife had some dessert (I don't remember what it was called. I believe she said it was the pizza dough that was sweetened, cut into small strips, with a chocolate dipping sauce of some sort).
The pizzas were spot on as advertised. The crust was amazing (I'm not a crust eater usually), and it had the right amount of crunch without being overcooked, and the right amount of give (without it being doughy). I was a fan of the Cerino more than the Wild Mushroom but that's probably because the sausage on top was amazing.
So, with all the gushing comments, why only 4 and not 5? It could have, and should be 4.75. The service. It wasn't the pace (which was really good for a Saturday). It wasn't my usual pet peave of Servers holding the glass by the top (where my lips go!). It's the fact that you took my drink order and then tell me the drink specials. Also, when I asked between two pizzas and what they thought, she offered to give us more time. Again, it's a minor gripe and it shouldn't reflect negatively on the quality of food but it did slightly alter the experience. Hence the 4 and not 5.
That being said, I'll be back there soon. A day later and I'm already looking forward to going back and trying something different.
