| - As the third pizza place in this location, you'd think it to be the "charm." Not so much. They are trying a bit too hard to be an upscale restaurant in a flyby space. Having heard great things, I decided to give it a try for lunch. Upon entering I pull out my laptop at the bar as I await my order's arrival. No WiFi. #fail These days you must offer WiFi. It's just a part of the customer experience. Had I been able to sit and do my work, I may have ordered a dessert, a coffee, etc.
Once my pizza came, I had elementary school flashbacks. Although a good size for the price, the quality was lacking. Other than school cafeteria pizza-esk, I'm not really sure how to describe it.
A manager, or perhaps the owner, kept asking everyone how everything was. Common restaurant practice, but in a space so small with so few customers, it felt forced and odd. Of course I'm going to tell you everything was good. Especially when you have the look of a child that may burst in to tears if I tell you just how sloppy your first coloring project really is. He needed to exude a bit more confidence and give a bit more space. Once I started to pack up my leftover pizza, he came by to tell me that he hoped I didn't feel rushed by the service associate that brought me a togo box. I had to reassure him that I asked for the box, for I feared he may go chastise the poor girl. How long did you expect me to hang around anyhow? Should I have brought a tent? Chill dude, it's only lunch.
Prior to going in, having seen several positive reviews and being a pizza fanatic, I debated with a friend how long this place would last. I had faith. He did not. After my personal dining experience, I sadly have to agree with my friend. Although I wish them well, I'm just not so sure this place will live up to the hype.
