| - When eating at a pizza place, one ought to simply order pizza - lesson learned. I came here while in the midst of my bi-weekly, short-lived salad phase and ordered a salad with a side of salad. Specifically, the Chop Chop and the Side Car. The Chop Chop ($12.29) had chopped romaine, red & white quinoa, red & yellow pepper, avocado, grape, tomatoes, pomegranate seeds, green onion, pea shoots and a cilantro tamarind vinaigrette. The side car, on the other hand, was a simpler blend of arugula, sliced pear, walnuts, goat cheese and lemon dijon vinaigrette. Both were difficult to consume, especially as someone who is not compelled by greens as it is. The side car, however, was the most disappointing - a modicum of goat cheese barely felt fair for a product worth about $8 after-tax ($6.86 pre-).
On another occasion, I had the Aristocrat and the Kale, Caesar! salad. I believe the Aristocrat (tomato, mozzarella, garlic confit, pesto, arugula, extra virgin olive oil and parmesan for $14.86) was the only pizza on the menu that did not have pork, apart from Into the Wild (blue cheese, mushroom, same price). The pizza was just fine but I did wish they had more options for those with dietary restrictions!
On a more positive note, I would say that True True's pizzas are far healthier and noticeably less greasy than what you might encounter at a mainstream chain restaurant. My meal felt light, but at the same time I didn't finish feeling completely full. The salad was much better than the others I had before - essentially an earthy mix of kale, parmesan and lemon for $6.86.
Overall, I'd recommend you take the customize-a-pizza option when you dine in if it is still around - that way you can make the most out of True True :)
