The first thing worth mentioning is the adorably cute pizza slice shaped buzzers! I secretly added bonus points to Grimaldi's just for that. It made the short wait for our table kind of exciting as I waited to see how cute the darn thing is with the pepperoni and green peppers lighting up. I can't help it. I dig clever little things like that.
But on to the food....we ordered a pizza and a small bowl of caesar salad. The fiance was super hungry so he ordered us the antipasto appetizer as well. The appy and salad were really good with a fresh taste and light feel. I think it actually paired really with our pizza so it was nice to have both. The pizza itself is thin crust and baked in a coal oven so it's crispy and a little smoky. All good stuff in my book. The pizza was crispy yet moist and the toppings tasted great. The fiance really liked the pepperoni here and I had to agree. We were excited that we were going to have pizza leftover to enjoy again later at home!
We waited about 15 minutes for a table but it was Friday night dinner so I consider that a victory. Service was great and pleasant with someone checking in frequently to see if we were doing all right and enjoying our meal. I love the ambiance and feel of the place - I wanted to take home one of their wine bottle chandeliers!
