| - PL was recommended to my girlfriend and I by a friend, so we decided to check it out for lunch on a Saturday. Initially, we had a bad feeling there would be a wait because 1) it was a weekend and 2) the ratings are above average. We were pleased, however, when we got in and were seated immediately.
The inside had a very laid-back layout, with a friendly, family feel. Seating is primarily bench-style, but they have some high tables with stools and also a bar.
The service was great right from the start. We were immediately served water, after choosing still water when asked, "still or sparkling?". We were given ample time to decide what we wanted, and our server was very patient and helpful when it came to deciding our order. She gave her personal recommendations, asked us about our ingredient preferences, and double checked for allergies before noting down our order. We went with the Cremini Mushroom for our pizza, and Flank Steak Speidini as an appetizer.
The pizza arrived before the starter (we told her she could bring the food in any order), and I hear it's ready in about 90 seconds, given the thin crust and nature of the dough. I half wish we'd been told the pizza we went for wasn't Marinara based, but it was pretty delicious nonetheless. We did, however, ask for a side of marinara sauce, which was worth the $1 extra.
Our steak appetizer arrived shortly after, and consisted of three skewers of steak and sourdough. The steak was rare, very slightly on the chewy side, but I wouldn't say that was an issue - it was still tasty, and went well with the pizza.
We were able to take our time eating and finishing up as there wasn't much rush, and were overall very satisfied. I will be coming back to try tomato/marinara sauce based pizza sometime soon, though!
The bill came to just about $30 for the Cremini Mushroom pizza and the Flank Stake Speidini appetizer. Not bad!
