| - My sister called me up and told me she had reservations for a great little pizza place in the Atwater market area that she had heard great things about and did I want to come? I rarely say no to pizza and I was looking forward to trying out a new place, so yes yes yes was my reply.
Foyer is nestled between a hair salon and another restaurant, pretty non descript from the outside but it has a warm, cozy ambience inside. We were greeted by friendly staff and quickly shown to our table.
The menu is not huge but their pizza selection is very interesting and definitely original. We weren't starving so we shared a salmon tartar, which arrived very quickly. it was fresh but a little lacking as far as taste, good but nothing memorable.
As for the pizzas, we decided to each order our own and share.
I was torn between the smoked meat pizza and an onion soup pizza, the smoked meat pizza had bechamel sauce, grainy mustard, gherkin pickles, bacon and smoked meat. It sounded a little strange in terms of flavor combinations but our waiter assured me it was delicious and was a top seller. The onion soup pizza had bechamel sauce, caramalized onions, bacon and gruyère. It sounded delicious but I wasnt in an onion mood so I decided on the smoked meat.
My 2 dining companions ordered the Margherita and added on mushrooms and the other order a pepperoni, chorizo, hot pepper pizza.
Our pizzas soon arrived and we all traded a slice. My smoked meat pizza looked good but I still wasn't overly excited and wondered if it was a wrong choice. Thankfully my first bite proved me otherwise. The crust was crispy and on the thin side without being wafer thin. The bechamel was creamy and the saltiness of the smoked meat and the crunch of the gherkins made for an interesting contrast of textures and flavors.
The pepperoni, chorizo, hot pepper pizza was amazing, spicy perfection! Definitely my favorite!
The Margherita with mushrooms was also good but didn't tantalize my taste buds, it was good but didn't stand out or make my mouth happy like pizza should.
All in all, tasty pizza, a good choice if you want to enjoy a non traditional pizza experience.
We were offered desert, the chocolate mousse looked tasty but we were all stuffed with no room for anything else. We got our bill and the waiter came back with our leftovers in a box with a cute drawing of a "scary"pizza, one of the waiters is an artist and likes to decorate the to go boxes, a cute touch:)
I would definitely come back but only if I was in the mood for a change from my tried and true favorites.
3 pizzas, 2 glasses of wine and 1 appetizer, 105$ including tip.
