| - Spinato's deserves an A for effort, and might deserve more stars at some point, but they are just one of many pizza joints in N. Scotts so it's tough to stand out. They sure are trying real hard, though.
First, they put some effort into the decor. Still looks like a pizza joint, but does have some modern italian touches. I also like it that they have a lot of booths and patio seating.
The help is super-de-duper happy and friendly. I've only seen female servers so far, so on a busy all-hands-on-deck night it's a lot like walking into a sea of Stepford wives...or maybe cheer camp. Or Fembots, all saying, "Hello, Mr. Powers" in unison. I'm still trying to figure out if I like it, but that probably says more about me than them. I can say I'd prefer they sacrifice a little of the cute factor in favor of more efficiency so the drink refills, timely food service and check are consistently on point.
Spinato's pizza sauce is like none I've ever had. In a good way. That sauce, along with their thin crust and cheesey goodness, makes for some fairly unique pizza. Their salads - even the side salads - are by far the best I've ever had in a pizza joint. You have a choice of spinach, lettuce or combo of both. They always taste fresh made, and have lots of good veggies that are in good shape (you know, haven't been sitting around a while).
Definitely worth a try.
