| - I decided to try Prosciutto's Pizza after receiving a coupon in my marriage mail (postal employee speak for junk mail). The flyer stated that their pizza was voted "Best Pizza in Charlotte". With that claim I had to try it (though it didn't hurt that the flyer also came w/ a coupon for a free dine-in 12-inch cheese pizza).
Atmosphere - Strip mall location, surprising old bar feel on the inside, Massachusetts 'massxxxx' memorabilia everywhere!, spacious, dark, busy.
Service - Despite being rather busy, service was friendly and quick. I opted for a booth that was cheerfully cleaned. I picked this spot so I could sit as far away as possible from the numerous Brady/ Patriots items that litter the establishment.
Food - I had the pizza. I must say this pizza took me back to the Northeast, as the crust was thin, flexible, and had a slight crunch to it. I also liked that it was dusted with cornmeal. The sauce was neither sweet nor spicy. It was kind of in between. The toppings were all fresh...i.e. the mushrooms were not from a can. The black olives were a little disappointing but not uncommon from a place of this ilk. The next time I will skip that topping.
Price - Backing out the discount, a 12-inch pizza w/ three toppings was $12.75 and the drink was $1.99. A little pricey, but not too bad.
Overall - This place took me back ever so briefly to the NE for some tasty pizza. I am just deducting 1 star for the place being so in love with the Pats.
Go Steelers!!!
