| - I am here and ready to save the Earth, one pizza at a time. That is their motto which hangs over the bar. The word on the streets before they open did not amp up my excitement to try this place, but one visit changed all that.
I went in expecting to not be impressed and walked out highly pleased. I am not sure where this establishment won me over, but they did. The onslaught of friendly faces and warm greetings was a start. My party of two was told that we could sit anywhere, which included the lounge area in front of the bar. This helped to lower my guard. George, our personable waiter, sat down to explain the menu to us. Way to disarm my barbed defenses. The suggestion of a pizza I was eyeing down gained my trust. An option for multigrain pizza crust got me to loosen up. The string of 80's classics came on and I could not resist the charms of Pizza Fusion any longer. I lost my shit when Don Henley came on. Then my Pear and Gorgonzola Pizza came out and my inner paparazzi swarmed. This pita style crust is not what I had expected, but it was still good. The sweetness of the pears and candied walnuts balanced out the saltiness of the cheese. The sesames laced throughout the crust was an indication that they were not bullshitting me with this multigrain claim. How dare they stay true to their word.
I was beginning to wonder what a "glutton" free, vegan, vegetarian and eco friendly pizza joint would serve. Within an hour, they proved that dietary restrictions and eating out are not exclusive separate. All of the vegetables are organic as well. They do serve meat for all the carnivorous yelpers out there. The only complaint I have is that they send their dough through a press and it is not hand tossed. If that is the worst complaint I can come up with, it is still a victory. Next time I will go all out and get the gluten free vegan pizza. Baby steps until then.
