| - I've been to this place three times. The first time I ordered a simple pizza with mushroom and sausage. It tasted good--great sausage, sliced not crumbled, good mushrooms, and a very good sauce. Unfortunately, as other Yelpers have noted, the center crust was limp and soggy. As great as this pie could have been, overall the crust made it a fail.
Second time, I ordered the "Pomo", but I asked for it crispy...it was awesome! I usually don't like peppers on my pizza, but these were roasted, and possibly marinated, and they blended beautifully with the rest of the ingredients.
Third time, I couldn't wait to try the Pomo again! Ordered it crispy like before, and it arrived looking beautiful, with a deep golden brown crust. Sadly the crustiness ended about two inches into the pizza. Not only was the crust soggy, but the center was barely warm even though the cheese was melted.
Overall, I don't really get it. This place should be tremendous. The APN certification, the excellent ingredients, the imported 850 degree oven, the Italian pizza chefs, all the pieces are in place for awesomeness. I've been to Naples a couple of times, and NEVER had a soggy pie there, in fact, if there is one thing that characterized every one I've had, it was the CRUST. The toppings were almost a bonus.
I might give this place another try. When the pizza is done right, it really is one of the top two or three in the valley IMHO, the consistency has been annoying however. I suspect the issue is with the oven temp, but I'm not a baker...
