| - Needs to work out some kinks . .
We were very excited to try the Lamp as it is just around the corner from us. Came on a Friday night with four people and waited about 15 minutes. No problem as there were seats for us at the front bar. Decent wine selection, I ordered white, which was not quite chilled enough. We asked about draft beer and was told that "people in North Scottsdale don't like draft beer--they'd close us if we had it." Pretty ridiculous comment as we all know plenty of places this far north (and further north) that have draft beer. All he had to say was no -- we were just asking.
When we got to the table, service was a little slow, the waiter brought over a little appetizer for us (bread with sausage inside), which was nice. We each ordered our own pizza, but that's really not necessary. Each pizza could definitely feed two people. The pizza toppings were good, very fresh, great cheese, and not underdone. The crust of the pizza was fine on the ends but thin and soggy in the middle. Fixing this make for a much better pizza. But for a really great pizza, I'll still go to Oreganos. The Lamp has the potential to be as good as Humble Pie, but hasn't quite reached it yet. The people who worked there were very nice, though, and we'll probably give it another try.
