| - Just like Streisand sang, "People. People who need Pizza People ... are the luckiest people in the world." Well, she should've sang it that way. Memories light the corners of my mind. Pizza, mac & cheese, sandwich and burger memories ... of Pizza People Pub.
If you cherish the memories of Mary Beth and Tim Scanlon with their Pizza People Food Truck, you probably know by now that they teamed up with Tom Jetland of Switch, FEZ and the founder of Ticoz to found their first brick 'n' mortar pizza pub. Yes, happy days are here again. Tom's culinarily creativity and restaurant savvy has never met a stoney end. They made a place where anywhere you hang your hat is home. The former Cheuvront's on Central is their home, but with a smart remodel it's no second hand rose. It's a "happening" near Hance Park, you might say.
Start off with the amazing Chicken Wings (ten for $10.95). You have nothing to be guilty of because they're baked, not breaded and fried. They're big, moist and luscious with crispy skin. Six different preparations are sweet inspiration for these babies.
The main event is certainly the twelve artisan pies (plus endless combinations of a pie you can build). Each arrive with a 10-inch crust made from house-made dough. The "Testosteroni" is more traditional with red sauce, mozzarella, pepperoni, ground beef, Italian sausage, onion and basil. How lucky can you get? Handsome Chef Matt Gooding is a regular Prince ... of Tides. And pizza.
Another chart topper is the "Date Me" with mozzarella, goat cheese, minced prosciutto, chopped Arizona dates, fresh arugula and agave vinaigrette drizzle. All pizzas are under $10, so the server won't rain on your parade when you get the check. Speaking of servers, oh my man, Roger, I love him so. Ask for Nicholas and you'll say, "Well, hello, gorgeous!"
Papa, can you hear me? Because the burgers and sandwiches are award winning. The Fairmount Fire burger is for those who like it hot and spicy. It comes with chiles, mozzarella, romaine and a Buffalo-like red hot sauce on a brioche bun for $9.95. Did we mention it's hot? I hope the Sloppy Seoul stays. It's a fresh take on the traditional "Joe" with Korean sweet & spicy barbeque topped with kim chee and romaine. Six other sandwiches or burgers make picking a winner difficult. Each come with a fresh, mild, crunchy agave apple cole slaw.
In a city battling it out for the best Mac & Cheese, I'd be surprised if Pizza People's didn't win the Oscar. You've got ten amazing, different varieties of the classic with creative twists in each one--mushrooms, paprika, truffle, bleu cheese and more. Add bacon, chicken, ground beef or Italian sausage for a trifle more. Mini Mac: $3.95 or Biggie Mac for $9.95. Spare me the guilt trip. I'm already nuts for it.
A full bar with creatively crafted cocktails is also available. Don't miss their Happy Hour from 3-6:30 p.m. daily. So on a clear day you can see forever. All the way to Pizza People Pub. No more hunger and thirst, but first be a person who needs Pizza People. That's what Barbra would sing, anyway. Who am I to argue?
