| - Let's just get to what you people read my reviews for: VEGAN PIZZA. With (plenty of) Daiya!
I was pretty psyched when I heard that RCP was offering a vegan cheez alternative on their pizzas, so I made the voyage to Bougieland with some friends to try it out. They'll charge you $2 extra for the vegan cheese, but at least they don't skimp! I got a 12" pizza with bell peppers (ahem, green peppers - don't play me like I might be getting red!) and artichoke hearts. The crust was good (although I like mine a little more done; it could have had another minute or two in the oven for my taste). And the leftover pizza was good both cold right out of the fridge and reheated in the microwave.
So, what's the downside? Service is not great. Ambiance is a little lacking. There are some nice high tables near the kitchen area, then there's the "kids area." We seemed to be surrounded by tables with children the whole time we were there.... What can you do? It was a busy day.... And there is no restroom. You have to go outside, down the way, but I guess that's pretty common at Tivoli.
Beware that most of their bottles of wine are actually half bottles. We made that mistake and ended up with three people each getting 2/3 glass of wine. Which was delicious, as it should be for $56/bottle. Our bad for not reading closely, but I think we all felt it was a little underhanded.... My other complaint is that the (red) wine was freaking COLD. This is not cold duck! This is a decent red wine....should be no colder than 60 deg. This was like 40-45. So, skip the wine, and go for the $1 PBR instead.
I'll definitely get their pizza again; but next time, I'll probably just call for takeout.
