| - PIZZA DEL REY. I have not tried the gelato yet (gasp!). But the pizza is one of my favorites in the city. Again, PIZZA DEL REY. So amazing. I hate to seem all trendy and such, but damn, I love truffle oil.
The pizza crust is incredibly thin--almost too thin at times. It is not always crispy enough and can get quite soggy under all the toppings and cheese. But the crust has a nice, simple flavor.
The pizzas have fresh toppings and are fire-baked, so they come out quickly and (usually) cooked to perfection. The problem with those ovens, though, is sometimes spots of the crust are burnt while the rest is a little underdone.
They offer some wines and some beers, but it's not a very large selection. Likewise, the salads and sandwiches do not have a ton to offer, but I have not tried one yet, so I can't say anything about their quality.
I guess since they just semi-recently expanded to serve pizza, I will cut them a little slack for the lack of boozing options and limited food menu. I hope they expand a little to add more space and maybe pasta!
Service is always pleasant, but usually kind of slow. I guess that's ok because I am never in a rush if I sit down to eat there. I find it a little strange there is no host or anything because if you go in on a super busy night, you'll find yourself awkwardly in the way or seemingly standing in line for gelato. Meh. Oh well!
