A quick intro to my love of pizza. I ran a pizza blog for years where I traveled & wrote articles on pizza places, worked at an award winning pizza place in Ogden, Utah, sold pizza ovens, and really just fucking love pizza.
I had been eyeing this place for awhile, locally owned spots are normally better than chains. So today I had limited time, and knew that the pizza someone brought in last week, looked like some bomb ass pizza, so I ran over.
I was acknowledged right away by both employees. It's super small on the inside so if they didn't it would have been slightly awkward. They were friendly, and busy making pies. I waited for them to finish as I looked over the menu.
The atmosphere was casual. Some cool sayings on the wall. A small fridge with canned beverages, waters, and Capri sun for the kids.
Beware, there is limited seating in the dining area. However, there are some seats outside too.
Like I said, I needed something quick so I asked if there was pre-made slices. The girl pointed to two pizzas sitting above a toppings bar. They both looked well done, so I picked the lesser cooked option. She told me I could put any toppings on it, which was cool but I didn't wanna add any extra time to this adventure so I just took the cheese.
My pizza was popped in some sort of heating device that really over did it.
After about 5 minutes of waiting, and watching a delicious looking pizza being eaten by a family dining in, I was handed a small box with my slice in it.
Now, I appreciate the point of this box, however, I see this as a wasted expense for the owner. I would have been happy to have it on a paper plate. That's how slices have normally been given to me. Just saying, save your boxes!! I felt kinda bad using it on one slice.
I got to my car, dining area, and got out of my terrible parallel parking job, and chowed down on my slice.
Also, prices aren't bad 5 bucks for a slice and a can isn't bad at all.
The reason for three stars, which I will hopefully be changing soon, because I will go back, is that my pizza was over cooked to start, and then over over cooked & given to me.
The crust was thin, and kinda greasy, but still good. I couldn't really taste any sauce, the flavor of cheese, & burnt over powered everything else. No fear, red pepper flakes & Parmesan packets churched it up real nice. Overall it was one of the better overcooked slices of pizza that I've tried.
I think I came at an off time, and happened to get two pizzas I would have prolly not served, or at least not re-heated as much. I don't know how they cook the pizzas, but if it's done on brick it could have made them a little darker.
Either way I'll be back to give them another chance.
