| - Had dinner here for the first time a couple of days ago. My dining companion and I both just recently moved to the area, so we are checking out spots in our new 'hood. She arrived before I did, and was already seated with a drink. I sat down and we started chatting, catching up on what's been happening since we last saw each other back in Vancouver.
About 10 minutes into the conversation, I realized that our server hadn't been by our table since I arrived and I was really craving a bevvie. Finally someone came by to take our order, and we both ordered pizza and drinks.
She had a glass of wine and I chose a nut brown ale, as I'm hoping to discover some new local brews. This is the downside to beer drinking: when you have favourites in your hometown, you need to start over finding new faves in your new city. Oh, wait... that's probably an upside - trying lots of new beers! Anyways, on to the food...
I ordered the Funghi pizza with mushrooms, taleggio and truffle oil and my friend had the Pappa pizza with prosciutto, mozzarella and arugula. Both were delicious. She managed to finish her entire pizza, but I had to wrap my leftovers when I threw in the towel after eating 3/4 of it. It made for an excellent breakfast the next morning, though!
Service was slow, and there wasn't much for follow-up until we were done, but we didn't really need anything after we got our food and drinks so it was fine. This place is a bit on the pricier side for a casual eatery, but I'll probably return seeing as how I live in the area and I love pizza! Would also like to try their tiramisu...
