I stopped by here this past Thursday for a snack of sorts with my girlfriend. Both of us had been wanting to try Mecurios as we both used to love the place whenever it was only a small gelato shop. The inside of the restaurant was interesting with what seemed like half of the shop for employees and the other half for patrons. This was further divided by the gelato area which had around 20 different selections and 2 reserved tables and the restaurant which had a nice looking wood brick oven and the rest of the tables.
My girlfriend and I decided to start off out meal with the pesto pistachio antipasti which was pistachio and basil pesto with cheese and orange zest served on a pizza crust. The flavors were good and I enjoyed both the pesto sauce and pizza crust but the real winner was the orange zest. It was prevalent enough that you could taste it and its citrusy flavor but did not overpower the pistachio and basil. For our main pizza to split my girlfriend and I decided on the salame calibrese which was a pizza topped with tomatoes, basil, EVOO, mozzarella and salame. The crust tasted the same as the first and was good but I didn't think the bottom was firm enough. Now I don't want to go arguing with the AVPN but I want to be able to pick up my pizza to eat it but with this I could not and had to use a fork. Even with that being said the pizza was still good and the salame giving a nice saltiness to it.
The bottom line for me is that I will probably head back here in the future. Granted that it may be for Gelato but there is always the off chance that I could order a pizza again and I would shy away if someone else wanted to go here.
