| - $25 lunch with no service.
The food here is great, I've been three times. But twice now, I've sat outside at lunch and been basically ignored.
At lunch, you pay for your food at the counter when you order it, and the receipt has a tip line on it. I don't carry cash, so I either have to tip before I sit down or stiff them. Don't like that.
I ordered a medium pizza for lunch, which was larger than I needed. I'm pretty big, and I only ate half of it. I should have ordered by the slice, but they didn't have the one I wanted that way. The pizza and a drink came to $22 and some change. With a reasonable tip, that's over $25 for one person to eat lunch. I thought that was kind of steep for a medium pizza.
They have a great patio, so I sat outside. The food came pretty quickly given that they had to make it. After they dropped off the pizza, I finished eating and had plenty of time to write this review and read several pages on Quora before she came back out (not to check on me) to clean off another table. That guy had come and been long gone in the time since I saw the waitress. I had long since finished my drink, never got a refill. I asked for a box, and that took another ten minutes. By this point, I was wishing I could give the tip to the cook and not the waitress.
Since this is the second time I've had this kind of experience, I probably won't be going back. Which is a shame, because the pizza tasted great. I've had their eggplant parm sandwich and it's really good.
All three times I've been there it was almost empty. I like the food, and the patio is nice. It's a shame the service is so bad.
