| - Vivid is a solid three star experience.
We went last night (yes, we got the groupon, too) and had a perfectly nice time. Food was good, ingredients were fresh and service was pretty fast. But there are somethings that keep Vivid out of the 4 star bracket:
1. The service is a little odd. We ordered two appetizers and two pizzas and they came out in a strange order. Very quickly, we got both appetizers and one of the pizzas all together. So it was hard to enjoy the apps because we didn't want the pizza to get cold. The second pizza came out after we had finished most of the first one. Good thing we love to share.
2. There are TVs everywhere and also fairly loud italian soft rock playing which detracted from an otherwise sweet and simple decor (red and white checkered tablecloths, etc.)
3. While not pricey, everything felt like one or two dollars more expensive than the dishes merited. For example, our green salad had lettuce, cherry tomatoes and purple onion. For $9. Just a wee bit more than that should cost.
4. This may sound weird, but there are heavy plastic coverings on the tables that make the dishes stick to the table. I kinda felt like I was in preschool again. It was hard to move dishes around to accommodate the large plates on our small table.
All that said, their thin crust pizza is yummy and fresh. Sauce is tasty and cheese is high quality. Don't go for elegance, but it's a good spot if you live in the area and are craving something better than a chain slice.
Vegetarian score: 6.5/10. Most of the pizzas have meat on them so just ask for your own combo if you want your pie meat free
