| - Inna Gadda di Pizza is located downstairs in Pawn Plaza. Hubby and I first came here for lunch with Cali yelpers Rohlin and Laina A. and we all really liked our pizza and stromboli. There is a yelp check in offer for a free cannoli and all four of us had no problem redeeming it. We enjoyed our first visit enough to bring New Jersey yelper, Tony J. and he's originally from Brooklyn, so he wasn't against a few tasty slices for dinner. There isn't any seating or tables inside. You place your order inside for pizza by the slice or you can order a whole specialty pie from the menu or choose your own toppings. They also offer salad, stromboli, calzones and have a few dessert items on the menu. The prices are very fair for Downtown and I really hope they stay the way they are. Slices range from $3 - $3.50 and a cheese pizza is $18 which can easily feed 4 people. I'd recommend having a fresh pie made and eating it when it comes out of the oven instead of taking it home to have the best experience. The couple slices I had leftover later on when I got home were good, but I enjoyed it fresh from the oven much better. Besides, pizza is better when it's shared around a table with good company! They have heat lamps above most of the tables at Pawn Plaza that put off a decent amount of heat which is nice during the cooler months.
They have bottled water an Boylan products at the (free refills) fountain. The Boylan products are made with cane sugar and if you are a fan of Birch Beer, they have that. I tried the black cherry during both visits and wasn't that crazy about it. I found it personally to be lacking in flavor and fizz and would have preferred an ice cold coca cola.
White Slice ($3.50) - mozzarella, garlic cream, house-smoked tomatoes, dollops of ricotta and a pesto drizzle. This was a last minute add-on. Laina and I were both looking at the white slices they had displayed for sale and just kind of looked at each other and said "I want to try that" so with no hesitation we were both hollering at my hubby who was at the register to add a slice of the white to try. I asked if they would mind double-cutting the slice since we'd be sharing it to sample and it wasn't an issue. We ended up sharing the slice with our husbands and we all really liked it. I'd have no problem coming back and ordering a whole one!
Sausage Stromboli ($6) - This was brought to our table complimentary by one of the guys working because he said there was a problem with the way our pizza cooked and he wanted to make a fresh one so we had a pizza that was the way it should be. Wow that was nice! The stromboli was 4 pieces and I'm usually not a sausage fan, but really liked this! It would make a nice meal on its own or is perfect as an appetizer.
All Meat Pizza ($23.25) - This pizza has pepperoni, sausage and meatball on it. The pizza was a good size as were the slices. I liked the thin crust, taste of the sauce and the amount of cheese. The toppings could have been put on a little more even, but they didn't skimp on the amount used. We were all full and satisfied,
Pepperoni Pizza ($19.75) - There was a good amount of pepperoni and cheese. A good thin crust and big slices. The pizza here is "fold and eat" all the way for me, but they do have utensils inside if you prefer to eat your pizza that way. They also have cheese, crushed red peppers and napkins that you can bring to your table, just be courteous and return what you take back inside when your are done.
Cannoli ($3) - On my first, us four yelpers got ours free with the yelp check-in offer. I found the shell to be a bit hard and the filling had a nice citrus flavor, but was also a stiff and not creamy. The next visit when the yelper I was with redeemed his check-in offer the guy working asked about hubby and I, so I mentioned that we had already used ours on a previous visit. He said to give them to us anyway, very nice! This time the shell was the right crispness and the filling was creamy and had just the right amount of citrus flavor.
The employees working on both visits were really friendly and helpful. They came outside and checked on our table making sure we enjoyed our food and to see if we needed anything. I don't make a point to go Downtown too often anymore, but will make the effort to stop by here again in the future for date nights with hubby and when I have friends or family in town.
