| - So took the family to try State 48 last week. First the pros: I had The Boss pizza. It was delicious. Though a couple of things did diminish my experience. First, for a $15 pie it should be bigger. The Boss is a small/personal pizza at other pizzerias. Next, there was too much flour on the bottom crust. I know they use it to keep the pizza from sticking in the wood-fired oven. But, for the love of God, less could be used. My son had the chicken wings-- as with the pizza, the wings were delicious-- though overpriced (10 wings for $11)! My daughter had the chicken Caesar salad. She didn't really care for it-- but she is 9, so not a big surprise. My wife ordered one of the sandwiches-- I forget which one. She too enjoyed the meal. My wife and I shared the beet salad. Wife liked it; I did not. I didn't like the salad because of the greens. I'm not a fan of bitter greens. So my dislike is personal taste and not food related.
Now for the cons. The service was incredibly slow. We had to wait 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant appeared to be able to accommodate more patrons. I get it, sometimes there isn't enough staff to cover the entire restaurant. Nevertheless, once we were seated it took a little bit of time for the server to greet our table and take drink orders. Once drinks were ordered and brought out we were ready to place the rest of our order. At this point is when the service really falls off. It took a long time for anything to be brought to the table. In all fairness we were told that the pizza takes a little longer-- no problem. Well, the Beet Salad came out. Then my son's chicken wings; the my wife's sandwich, then my pizza (which was supposed to take a little longer) then after an even longer wait-- my daughter's chicken Caesar salad.
The server didn't come back to the table to ask if everything was ok. If the server did return to the table we would have ordered mac & cheese for my daughter and get drink refills. In some restaurants if you can get the attention of another server, they will either help you, or go get the server for your table. I made eye contact with and motioned to two different servers-- both looked away and kept walking.
Overall the food is very good-- expensive for the portions-- and the service was not good at all. A final thought, hopefully there will be a few more tv's in the bar as well. Depending where you sit at the table, you may have your back to the screens.
