| - First a couple of disclaimers, once again I'm not an expert - I know what I like and don't like, and I haven't studied in Italy like an Olive Garden chef (hehehe). And I haven't been to the all-hailed PB's because I'd probably rip every hair individually out of my arms waiting for 2-3 hours....I just would.
I was introduced to the place on a 1st date and I was definitely paying more attention to my date, but I remember really enjoying the vegetarian pizza and the atmosphere. And getting lucky later, also 4 out of 5 stars. Not being nearby I didn't make it back soon enough, although i wanted to. So I was happy to snag the Groupon for a special night with friends.
With early reservations we got there just before it started filling up and started with the antipasto, some tasty cheeses and meats - really liked the red pepper puree. We all enjoyed some wine and ordered the spinach and a special, essentially ham with diced red pepper. The pizza's arrived in a timely manner, looked and smelled great and everyone agreed - that's good pizza.
No triple meat triple cheese cheese stuffed crust dipping sauce greasy gooey basterdized American junk. CI is none of that - it has a tasty, thin, crisp crust, quality ingredients, nice cheeses, not too much of anything, just enough of everything. Yes its a little on the pricy side, but I'll pay $16 for a delectable pie over $8 for a heap o'crap one any day of the week.
The service was good and we noticed a few tables of repeaters there, I believe the chef/owner strolling around chatting with them. I like that too.
