| - Not a fan at all. I've heard rave reviews about this place, but it didn't come close to living up to the hype.
First of all, if you hear that this place is a pizza joint, it is NOT. It's a sit down restaurant, while it features pizza, it's more of an Italian restaurant, than it is even close to a pizza joint.
They do not sell pizza by the slice, although the small isn't that big (perfect for two). I was born and raised in NY and I'm a pizza snob. The pizza was NOT NY style. Thin, yes, but not what a true NY'er expects when ordering NY pizza. This was crazy to me since the owner's dad owns a place in Brooklyn. The crust was HARD, too hard. I recently got a crown, and was afraid to chew on that side of my mouth for fear of breaking the crown, that's how hard the crust was. I ordered half cheese and half pepperoni, and it came with green leafy crap on it. I challenge you to walk into a real NY pizza joint and find green leafy crap on the pie.
Three positives to the place is 1 - it's a pretty nice restaurant, good ambience, and energy. 2 - it's got a pretty extensive menu. Apps, salads, sandwiches (gourmet fancy ones, not subs), pasta dishes, and of course pizza. 3 - The service is outstanding.
My date had the grilled chicken sandwich (minus the bread), and immediately had to brush his teeth upon getting home to get the taste out of his mouth. I didn't bother asking what was wrong, as it didn't look or smell appetizing.
Anyway, Eww somes it up pretty well.
