| - Had for my first visit to Barro's at least at this location - maybe any (?). Had the "white pizza", and it was very good. Good crust - not burnt, good texture. Mozzarella, and parmesan, and lovely lumps of ricotta on every slice, basted with Olive oil, had a light garlic flavor and thin slices of tomato imparting just a nice hint of tomato flavor to the marinara-less white pizza. Not overly salty either. Only crossed the $10 barrier by virtue of adding a side of garlic bread. Was well-filled and had 1/2 generous sized "small" pizza to take home. Hit them after 9pm on Friday night. You could tell the place had been jammed and though had quietened down, a steady stream of customers continued through the doors for both dine in and take out. Very informal - polished concrete floors. Noted none of the foul smells others noted below. Basically slightly spartan with the polished concrete floors and came across as clean, but as the rush appeared to have been over for a while, I'm not sure there is excuse for the crumpled paper napkins left on the floor here and there throughout the dining area. It's basic, a walk-up ordering counter, slightly low padded booths, bare tables, but staff was friendly, food served reasonably promptly, and it was really good. Is there better pizza in the valley? Sure, but this was very good, quick, convenient, and $10 for a meal fit for two - if you want ambiance you can go pay for that elsewhere. Barro's is a just a good, maybe in its context, even "great" neighborhood pizza parlor
(with pasta & subs too). Granted I'm waxing effusive for a 1-meal based review, but it was more than satisfying and I'll go back for more,
