| - Went to Brooklyn Pizzeria with the girlfriend and another couple on a Friday night. Cool environment and decor, all New York-like. A surprising amount of families and kids. Didn't have to wait to get in, which was nice.
Drinks first: I had a Granville Island Winter Ale (points for that!), girlfriend had a mojito, which was "alright". We each ordered a 9" Brooklyn-style pizza, which is like a thin crust; I had a traditional one with prosciutto and arugula, she had one with pork, pineapple, and bbq sauce. Our couple friends ordered a Chicago deep dish style pizza with a selection of ingredients to share; upon learning that it would take about 45 minutes to make, we also ordered bruschetta and onion rings as appetizers. Bruschetta was pretty small, only four pieces of bread, onion rings were big and tasty. My girlfriend and I both enjoyed our pizzas, but the other couple was not impressed with their deep dish, it seemed that even though they picked all these different toppings, they only got a few of each on a pretty big pie. They didn't even keep it for leftovers.
After ordering and even after we got our food, we hardly saw our server, which was aggravating after our drinks had run dry, especially considering after we arrived around 6:30 and ordered, the place seemed to empty out.
All in all, it wasn't bad, but it would be tough to convince me to drive all the way out to the area when there's Double Zero Pizza downtown and Chinook and Una on 17th.
