| - My friends and I did lunch at the newly opened Federal Pizza. It was pretty busy for 11 A.M., and after going there, I can understand why.
The decor is awesome. Unique salt & pepper shakers at each table, a long bar, open-sided booths, and an open kitchen. Plus, there is a drive-thru pick-up window.
We ordered the fig & prosciutto, the margarita, and the corn & green chili pizza. While I think I actually like Humble Pie's pizzas better (they're both of the same wood-fired style, but Humple Pie's flavors are richer and there isn't as much crust), these pies were tasty. Lots of toppings and fresh ingredients. They go light on the cheese, but that's okay. Makes you feel less guilty about eating half of an entire pizza.
The best part of the meal, though? The wine coolers. These aren't some Seabreeze or Boonsfarm stuff. These are fantastically flavored, bubbly, and refreshing coolers. And at $5 for a bottle full, they're a screaming deal. (All their beer pitchers, wine coolers, and glasses of wine are $5 before 5 PM, FYI.)
I did see some of the pasta and salad dishes folks ordered, and they looked pretty darn tasty. Needless to say, I'll be back.
