Checked out Maxi's today for dinner with a group of friends. Quite impressed! Nice ambiance, with options to dine in front, inside, and in the back patio. Pretty casual place too, so don't be self-conscious if you're not dressed up to the nines (or even the fives, really). Happy Hour until 6:30pm Monday through Thursday, with some pretty awesome deals: $3 beers, $6 wines/sangria, $10 all pizzas (14" and large enough for 2-3 hungry people), $10 mussels, and $10 calamari. We all had a drink and a pizza to ourselves, with none of us finishing more than four of our eight slices--leftovers anyone?
Pizza was fresh and hot, crust nice and chewy, with some intriguing toppings. I opted for Gilbert's pizza, with tomato sauce, ricotta cheese, proscuitto, and kalamata olives which was pretty darn tasty. Other combinations sounded great too, from traditional margherita to a smoked salmon pizza (might be more of a flatbread kind of thing at this point, but let's not get hung up on semantics). Service was attentive, refilled our waters frequently, and was very accommodating, readily splitting our check five ways.
Bottom line: tasty pizza, thrifty happy hour, spectacular service.
