| - Maybe I just had high expectations walking in here, but I don't see myself being stoked to pay this much for a pizza if it's not absolutely wonderful, and unfortunately, this just wasn't.
The positives:
*This is my favorite type of pizza. Thin, crispy, not greasy, unprocessed cheese, fresh ingredients.
*The patio area is lovely.
*The passion fruit iced tea is top notch.
*The meatball topping is very nice.
*The cheesecake is delicious.
*Portions are generous.
The negatives:
*The antipasto didn't come with lettuce, so we got a house salad instead. The house salad was large, but almost 90% lettuce. Lame.
*They don't serve ranch (I take this personally). Not only do they not serve ranch, but when I asked for it while ordering the salad, our server didn't say anything about not having it. I was pretty disappointed when the salad came with a big dish of "vinaigrette" on the side. Vinaigrette = a monkey dish full of oil, with half a teaspoon of some murky purple crap at the bottom. I couldn't mix the oil into the murky purple crap, or get the murky purple crap out past the oil. It was disgusting. If I had been told they didn't have ranch, I probably would have gotten a different salad, or none at all. The only other dressing they had was Caesar, and I'm not a fan. There are like 8 salads on the menu, what's with the crappy dressing selection? :(
*Pizza toppings are all sold separately from the pizza, and they cost $2-$5 each. Adds up fast.
*The crust stops tasting good as soon as the pizza cools down.
*The sauce is a bit too sweet.
*The service is a little weird. The pizza came while I was working on the salad, and I told the server that I would use the same plate. She then unceremoniously plopped a giant slice of pizza onto my plate (still half full of salad) while I was actively eating from it. Wtf?
I think I'll stick to Metro.
