| - although I haven't reviewed in quite a while, LAMP deserves some honor. My wife and I were in Scottsdale for a concert and found this little wood fired pizza place, while looking for somewhere else. Man, an I glad that we couldn't find the other restaurant, because LAMP was great.
Its a pretty small place with the large pizza oven in the center. It is a pretty amazing piece of equipment. We chose to sat on the patio, which was also small, but very nice. The place is super clean, the staff was great, and although busy, our server was quick and on top of it.
after looking over the menu, where everything sounded fantastic, we chose to go with zucchini cakes as an app and the Gordon as our pizza. The zucchini cakes were delicious. fried crispy on the edges and drizzled with an herby aioli. the pizza was a white pizza, which had olive oil and garlic as the sauce, with a cured salami, goat cheese, provolone, spinach, and mushrooms. It was, seriously, one of the best pizzas I have ever had...seriously.
I love the way the wood fired oven cooks the pizza, it was chewy and crispy at the same time. It had some char from the high heat oven and everything was cooked perfectly. I will def. go to LAMP again if ever in the area...heck, I might just make the drive from Northern AZ down, just for a slice of their pie again.
