| - I have absolutely no clue why the rating for this QMP (or any of the QMPs!) is not higher.
First, disclaimer: I rarely give 5 star reviews. Also, pizza is ACTUALLY my favourite food ever, so you can bet that I'm discerning about it (and have tried a wild variety of them).
The pizza here is absolutely amazing. Seriously. I am not the biggest fan of cheese, and I've only been easing my way into enjoying cheese and meat platters in the last few years, but the cheese on the pizzas here -- I will go out of my way to pick up off the plate and shove in my mouth.
The margherita pizza (surprise, surprise) is the real winner. It's so incredibly simple, as of course, it's just tomato sauce, basil, and mozzarella. But it's just SO good. \We've been here three times now, 2 pizzas each time, and every time, the margherita is one of them. I don't even really like basil either, but it seems when it's cooked at high temperatures and eaten on a pizza, it works amazingly.
The crusts here are also perfectly chewy, the middle of the pizza has *never* been soggy, and the toppings work so well. The Calabrese and Diavola pizzas are also great. I haven't tried one of the white pizzas yet but that's because a pizza without tomato sauce feels wrong to me, but at the rate that we're coming here, we'll eventually have to try every pizza on the menu!
Never had any complaints with the service here, and even on the busiest of nights, they make an effort to get us seated.
It's a lovely open concept atmosphere, where you share an entire room with all the other patrons and the kitchen itself. When it's busy, it's bustling, but despite the openness of the room, you can hear your dining companions perfectly well -- and maybe it's the illusion that happens with big crowds, but it feels almost more private than if you were in a smaller room with less people.
P.S. Prefer the pizza here over Pizzeria Libretto and every other thin crust pizza I've tried to date. I haven't had the ones at Terroni yet but they're next!
