| - I went to Tommy V's for the first time last night after reading about it on Yelp. It is in my neighborhood, and I wanted to try out a new pizza place. I love LGO pizza, but wanted to try some local pizza with a normal (aka not sourdough) crust for a change. We were seated immediately, and found out that there were still 8 minutes left of happy hour - yay! (HH is from 5-7; $5 wines, $20 bottles of wine) We ordered a delicious bottle of Syrah for $20 (normally $29.) Also, if you don't finish your bottle, you can take the remainder home. Our server was friendly and helpful. We decided to share a salad and a pizza (note - if you have them actually split the salad in the kitchen, they charge $2 - we did not have them split it :) We went with the poached pear salad with blue cheese - yummy! Medium-small portion, but fair enough for the price. Hit all the right flavor notes for me. We had the asiago pizza with red onions and pistaccios. I had mixed feelings about this pizza. The crust (as someone else mentioned) is thicker than LGO, and seemed a bit soggy in the middle. It reminded me of a frozen California Pizza Kitchen crust that is slightly undercooked - (note: this is not a good thing.) However, it was not terrible by any means, and the toppings were tasty enough. Just nothing really jumped out at me. If I try another pizza, I will go w/ the proscuitto and balsamic figs. I will be back though and plan on trying their pasta.
Also - the ambiance is nice - casual, comfortable and intimate.
