| - Hooray!!!!! Vegan mozzarella means those of us who don't do dairy can actually order a pizza. Kudos to this new establishment for realizing this niche. They also offer gluten free and whole wheat crust.
Hooray #2- since it is located in Tivoli Gardens and has outdoor seating, it was awesome to be able to bring our dog to the party!! We sat outside at the shaded tables and had a great time!!
Good, attentive and friendly server. The only thing she did that was irksome to my husband was ask if we wanted dessert or "just the check" right after we started eating. I had just started my second piece of pizza. Would be helpful if they offered their employees a bit if service training even though it's a pizza place. A dirty table sat next to us our whole dinner.
Here is some more food for thought:
A few inconsistencies to what was an otherwise awesome experience.......
VERY simple menu. Normally this wouldn't be a biggie, but the offered pizza toppings lacked pizzazz. Loved the roasted garlic purée, but everything else was very basic, like they don't know the clientele they are serving. Plain button mushrooms? The menu offers a roasted veggie panini. Perhaps you could offer those veggies on your pizzas. ?? Even meat eater options were boring. No specialty combo pizzas offered.
Next, The green salad was a cup of mixed field greens and 2 tomato slices on a salad plate which was brought out with red wine vinegar and oil. I asked for a balsamic vinaigrette and was brought the same balsamic reduction (thick!!!) that was on my husbands caprese salad.
For pennies, you could create a decent salad and dressing. Head over to Tivolis Saturday Farmers Market and pick up a few things if you need to, but don't insult customers with lettuce on a plate. Especially Summerlin customers in the food service industry.
Also, throw out an order or breadsticks or your garlic knots or even your potato chips for people while they wait. We waited a good time for even our salads and had nothing to pick on. Just might be a nice touch to serve a breadstick or two with the $5 plate of greens and $8 caprese salad, too.
Drinks: The ice tea had run out at 5 PM and the root beer 'liter' had tapped dry, too- my son had to switch to lemonade. Strange. Are they serving out of 2 liters??
Send someone to the store then!
Pizza:
My husband and son ordered a huge 18" mushroom, onion and roasted garlic pizza. It came out Ooey and gooey! Aside from the orange pool of grease, it was a tasty pie. However, for $1.00 per topping, they seemed skimpy here too. You could count the mushroom pieces on the entire pizza on both hands.
My pizza- the vegan 12"!!! Having had vegan pizza many times in LA, I am spoiled. But I was very surprised, even happy, at my pizza!!!! I got mushrooms and roasted garlic and loved it. They cooked the dough properly and the texture of everything was great!! I'm going to try it next time with their pesto!!
Overall- this was a really fun time. Scored because it was vegan and pet friendly! We will be back often and hope the kinks get worked out. It has the potential to be a real cool little hang out !
