| - This is the toughest review for me yet. Why you ask? Because I really don't think I get it..... I feel the same way about this as I feel when I tell people I hate the Beatles and they look at me like I just ran over their dog.....
I am the type of guy who loves "an experience" and from that standpoint, I can handle a very simple meal turning into a 4 or 5 hour process. That said, if I am set to do this, I expect to be completely dazzled with the outcome. When I got there at about 3:45 pm I was about number 35 in line. By 4:30, there were like 100 people in line. The anticipation was building and a strapped myself in for the wait next door. Unfortunately, this was the best part of the evening.
This is my dilemma, it's not that I hated it or thought it was bad in any way, However, the food was ok, definitely a place I would order pizza from and pick it up and take it home. I guess I just fail to see the "genius" of this pizza. We started with the spiedini and also ordered a Sonny Boy, Good Fella and the Arugula pizza. Again, it was all good, dough, cheese, meats and veggies. All good ingredients, but seriously, I don't get the big deal. This is not your typical pizza joint pizza which is a good thing, but in my opinion as someone who is a complete pizza nut who eats way too much of it all around the country, I've had better in my opinion.... Oh, I must complement the wait staff, particularly Dave the waiter. Great waiter and friendly as can be.
Maybe my expectations were set too high. I expected to love it so much that I wanted to eat until I exploded... I didn't. A couple years ago I was in NY on business and I walked over the Brooklyn Bridge and ate at Patsy Grimaldis under the bridge. Now that experience left me thinking "HOLY CRAP THAT WAS AWESOME"... To each his own I guess
