| - A small group of us (six) popped in just before 7 PM Saturday night to give 90 second pizza a try. They were very accommodating, putting tables together for us. Since it was our first time, my husband and I decided to each order something different to maximize our tasting experience, and we also ordered a small beet salad. Wine is available, as is Italian beer on tap. A nice selection of gelato awaits you at the end of the counter as well.
My husband opted to make his own pizza, selecting various fresh ingredients from the wide selection available - he chose spicy sausage, roasted peppers, roasted garlic, and...other stuff I can't remember. Loved the spicy sausage!
I ordered the Roma - fresh tomatoes under a blanket of fresh mozzarella, thinly sliced pancetta, fresh basil, romano cheese and one brown egg. Slightly rich and definitely savory.
The pizza crust is a beautiful combination of espresso, coffee, and beige coloring with a slightly chewy texture. The edges of the crust are the most well done, and the middle is the softest. Don't forget to soak up the juicy goodness in the middle - especially if you order a Roma or any pizza with an egg! By the way, the pizza is about 9 inches and big enough to eat by yourself if you're really hungry and great for sharing, especially with a salad.
The beet salad was really nice, especially because we wanted something cold and fresh. Speaking of which, the Peroni on tap was a nice surprise and it's served nice and cold. If the beer glasses were chilled, it would've been perfect.
I ordered a glass of the house wine (made from nero d' avola). I loved that it was served in a casual drinking glass, but disappointed that it was a bit warm (warmer than room temp) and it was a bit smaller pour than I expected (standard pour is usually 5 oz).
Overall, everyone really enjoyed the casual atmosphere, good pizza, and good company and we'll be back to try some other specialty pizzas.
