| - I went in early in the afternoon, in the middle of their soft opening. I was greeted with a smile by the host and offered a seat at the bar since I came in alone. There wasn't much of a crowd, it was mid day so I expected that there would be more people because of the lunch hour and the location. I was served a cold glass of water and given a menu by the friendly bartender.
For an app I ordered the Jamaican Jerk chicken wings and for a meal I asked for the Fun-Guy artisan pizza.
The wings had a nice kick to them and the ranch was tasty, a bit on the sweeter side though. The issue was that some of the wings had a chewy texture, as if the chicken was not fresh and had been refrigerated for quite some time.
The "Fun-Guy" pizza was underwhelming. Mozzarella, Crimini mushrooms, fresh Arugula and topped off with truffle oil. The Mozzarella cheese was bland, almost as if they opted to use some generic brand of cheese. I specifically ordered this pizza as I did not want the flavors to be overpowered by greasy meats. The Crimini mushrooms smelled great but their flavor seemed much stronger than that of the cheese. The Arugula felt like a strange choice as you cannot taste it. I was hoping that it would add a new and different texture but in the end, it was just some flat greens with no character. The Truffle oil only heightened the mushroom taste of the pizza, so if you really like mushroom flavor, I would highly recommend the "Fun-Guy".
On the other hand, the dough was soft and had a fantastic texture, by far my favorite part of the pizza.
I only gave it 3 stars but by no means is it a bad score, I do plan on returning and will try something different from the menu. Their wings weren't great and the pizza has a run of the mill flavor but the atmosphere was friendly and that is why I will return.
