Found out about this place on Instagram and saw that a special pizza was being brought back for a one day special by pre-order only, The Kracken. I was intrigued by the black pizza dough and put in my order. The toppings included white garlic sauce, crispy calamari, peppadew, manila clams, garden greens, purple basil, mozzarella, and pecorino all on a squid ink laced dough.
Upon first bite, I was hooked on the crispy calamari and wished that I had made a separate order. The peppadew provided a sweet heat that complimented well with the purple basil and cheeses. I wish there was more of the white garlic sauce as its flavor was masked by the toppings and did not come through. Unfortunately after two bites of each slice I was left with a large squid ink bread stick topped with mozzarella. Toppings were not generous in this case.
Overall, this pizza was a good experience. But to pay $17.25 for this 12" pizza just doesn't have me thrilled to come back for another. The calamari is a completely different story.
Only 20 are available for pre-order and can be picked up on Thursday's. Keep an eye out on their social media accounts to know when they release The Kracken once more!
