| - Adamo is situated in St. Henri. Near Rustique Pies and other well known restaurants. Walking distance from St. Henri metro. Owned and operated by Tony Campanelli. He's the same owner of Campanelli. I was looking forward in trying this pizza joint, sadly my eyes, palette, and wallet were not not at all pleased. Here's why..
To begin with, parking is a true challenge! Either it's reserved for residents only with permits, or there is no space to park. Let's not forget orange construction cones everywhere as well.
As I walked into Adamo, I was taken by surprise as to how small and compact the store is. I say the store mainly because there are no tables or chairs to eat. You're surrounded by big bulky bags of flour and and cans of tomatoes. Along with a small fridge and a TV. That's right! You either order for take-out or you eat it on the dusty sidewalk. Of course that's if you can park!
I had in mind to order a whole pizza to share with friends. The lady at the counter told me that was not possible. I was only allow to purchase the pizza by the slice. No whole pizza?! It had begin by a whole pizza in order to be sliced, no? Anywho.
So I ordered two slices $4.00 per slice. Ouch! I still wanted to try it. My curiosity took over my wallet.
So I ordered the tomato and cheese. Along with the cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil.
The slices of pizza were nicely warmed up, upon ordering them. That was nice!
As for the pizza slices.. Thin as a paper plate, dry, and quite tough to chew as well. The pizza with the cherry tomatoes had two squished tomatoes, three thinly sliced of basic and a dash of cheese. I'm not into oily and extreme cheese pizzas, but I do like to taste each ingredient.
The tomato and cheese pizza was just "Ok!" I certainly won't brag about it. The canned tomato sauce had a nice taste. As for the cheese? No taste and very little melting factor. Bonus point for not being oily. Yet once again, it was dry!
It's safe to say that I don't plan to return to Adamo anytime soon. With the combination of parking being a challenge, pizza being pricey, along with bland and dry. I will continue to visit many other wonderful pizza parlours throughout our city.
