| - Barros is the new kid on the block.
Clearly there's no shortage of pizza places in our area, including one just 100 feet across the parking lot. LOL But we came away last night wondering how the old Redendo/NY 51 would fair in this location.
The setup for Barros is a large expansive warehouse type space, where you order at a cashier as you come in. Just next to the cashier is a small iceberg lettuce salad bar, where you can make your own.
After paying, they hand you a drink cup, salad bowls, and number for your table. Off to side there's a 50" flat screen and several booths along the wall with maybe a dozen or so tables for seating.
We ordered two salads for $3.49 each, along with two drinks ($1.50) and a large 14" pizza (half cheese and half sausage/pepperoni) for a great price of $11.01. Hands down, probably the best price for a pie west of the parking lot and Rustic.
We had high hopes for Barros Pizza, but.... our pie came covered in oil, see photo. It took nearly three napkins to get it all. At home, I'll drizzle a little on top for flavor, but here they went all out.
As I mentioned earlier, there's a lot of choices for your pizza dollars nearby. Spinato's further down FLW; Corleone's, Ray's, NYPD or Fired Pie on Northsight, even Rustic across the parking; all make better, yet very different pies.
Btw, what's with all the servers coming over one by one and asking "how was our meal?" It's a nice touch, but somewhat over the top and disingenuous after the seventh one. I believe the only one who missed us was the guy making the pies. LOL
There's a great deal of potential here. Our bill came in at $21.49 before taxes. We came away feeling that Barros was a decent sit down place for an inexpensive meal, but left wanting more.
So two and a half Stars, rounded up to three.
