| - I'm clearly a New York kinda pizza guy and not a huge fan of those fu fu toppings and fancy small pizzas, but my date loves this place so I took one for the team. It was a Friday night just after 8pm, but because of the Holiday weekend we got seated right away. After we switched tables, we ended up on the patio where the active misters doused our table and the paper make your own menus and even gave both of us a somewhat wet head. It was the only way to go though and the alternative was shouting out to get to know this woman in the very loud interior room. Service was great, the waitress was very patient and since there was no wait, we were allowed to linger until closing. I had some refreshing seasonal peach beer at $5 a pop, while she went with the rather pricey $9 a glass wine. As for the food, we just had the arancini (rice balls) which were slightly above average, but resting in a nice semi spicy marinara sauce that was well seasoned ($9 for three). The make-your own pizza at $9 plus $2 each for toppings turned out good enough with artichoke hearts and grilled veggies and a blend of cheeses. Of course, NY'ers prefer just mozzarella, but had to roll with the punches. Good news was that it was foldable and even if it wasn't, no fork would ever get near my slice anyway. We just hit this place on a nice relaxing night and everything really was quite satisfactory, including my date for a change.
