| - I love a good brick oven pizza, and this was a great place to grab one. First thing I want to say though is the pizza style. This isn't NY-style, which is what I'm used to (since I'm from NY.) It's more a California style in that it's a thin crust and offers some unique topping options. In the end, I was a fan.
I ordered the Jerked Chicken pizza. It had some spicy jerked chicken on it along with pineapple salsa, onions and gouda cheese. My wife ordered the pear gorgonzola pizza that came with thin pear slices, carmelized onions and a gorgonzola cheese. We ended up splitting both pizzas so we each had two slices of each, and then took four slices home for lunch the following day. Mind you, they both also had mozzarella cheese, but neither had tomato sauce, so in that respect it wasn't your traditional pizza.
We both loved the pear/gorgonzola pizza. All the flavors combined sooo well, and the smokiness of the gorgonzola complimented the overall pizza very well. The jerked chicken was also good, and had a nice spice to it, but the gorgonzola definitely outshone the other one.
One last thing I want to mention is the beer. They had a beer list of at least fifteen brewers, the vast majority of which were local, or at least based out of the Carolinas. Each glass is $4.50 or you can get a sampler of four for $4.50. I almost got the sampler until the waitress mentioned that tonight was "$1.95 Draft Monday", so I was totally sold with that. I got one of the local IPAs and it was darn tasty. My wife had the White Belgium Ale and that was good as well.
My only complaint was that the waitress was very slow. We waited quite a bit of time between finishing up and getting out, and it wasn't too busy. Also, she never came by to see how everything was (not that she needed to since the food was amazing) but the manager did pop by to see how things were, so at least someone cared about us.
I highly recommend getting your pizza on here!
