| - I stopped by with CM tonight for some pizza. Despite living nearby, CM had never tried the pizza from here before, so I suggested we try it. I called in our order half an hour before I planned to pick it up, and, to my surprise, they told us it would only take 10 min. to make. So, I told them what time we would pick it up, and they said they'd have it ready for us at that time.
We ordered a small bianca pizza ($11), plus a half order of cheesy garlic bread ($1.75). When we came by around when we said we would, our order was ready to go, and still hot. After confirming with us that it was correct and accepting our payment, we headed back to CM's place to dig in.
The pizza was quite visually appealing, with plenty of tomato slices and basil leaves. More importantly, it tasted as good as it looked, with a great creamy-cheesy balance between the well-seasoned ricotta sauce and the cheese on top. Despite containing a generous amount of cheese, the pizza was not greasy at all. The crust was on the softer side, and wasn't as crispy as I'd like, but was super filling. The garlic bread had the same creamy-cheesy, well-seasoned topping, plus a garlicky butter sauce. The bread itself was substantial, similar to a hoagie roll, and also very filling. By the time I finished half the pizza and the garlic bread, I felt extremely full, as did CM.
Overall, we were very pleased with the quality of the pizza that we received from here. As others have mentioned, the employees are very friendly, and the prices are quite reasonable. We couldn't help but notice the wide variety of ice cream flavors available, as well as the lemon water ice, so we will surely be back to try them out. If you live in the Regent Square area, this is a great neighborhood pizza shop offering a product superior to the chains, including Vocelli, so be sure to check it out!
