| - We dropped in last night for happy hour after checking out the farmer's market in Downtown Chandler. Happy hour goes until 6pm (half priced apps and pizzas!!), and since it was pretty close to that time, we were given menus and waited on right away. We decided on the margherita pizza and bocconcini al prosciutto (read mozzarella sticks wrapped in proscuitto topped with mushrooms and breadcrumbs, not fried).
Soon after ordering, we were brought fresh slices of bread and some balsamic vinegar. After mixing the balsamic with the olive oil that was already at the table, we quickly devoured most of the bread.
It didn't take too long for the food to come. The "cheese sticks" came out first. Different from anything I've had before, but they were quite tasty...we fought over the mushrooms that topped the 3 cheese sticks. The pizza shortly followed, and it was big enough for 3 people to share (not bad for $5)! We agreed that the pizza was good, but nothing too special. It had a crushed tomato sauce with scattered fresh basil, smothered in mozzarella cheese on a thin crust and cooked in a brick oven. It was a great pizza for the price; if I go back, I'd like to try one of their other pizzas.
The bill was less than $20 for the pizza, appetizer, a glass of wine and a glass of beer. Not to mention we were pretty full. The atmosphere is cozy and romantic, with low lighting. The service was pretty good, although it took forever to get our check- I was quickly becoming inpatient. I'm not sure if I'd rush back there, but if you're in the area around happy hour time I'd suggest giving it a shot!
