The Mr and I were excited to try a brand new pizza spot in the neighborhood so we walked in mid-afternoon on a Friday to see what was up. We were greeted by friendly staff and were quite impressed with the decor and ordering counter setup.
Our selection was a 4 cheese pizza and one with eggplant, red pepper and balsamic as well as a couple of canned drinks.
This is where it got disappointing. From my first bite of pizza I realized that something was missing.
Salt.
Yep. The crust was just boring. No flavor (although the texture was really nice).
The pizza toppings were fine...or would have been, had they been properly seasoned. The balsamic was somehow not piquant at all.
I waited for the Mr's reaction and it was identical to mine. We both covered our pizzas in what our friends' kids call "shakey cheese" or the table-side Parmesan that was brought out with our meal. Honestly, it was one of the only ways we made it through.
So here we were, wondering if we had missed something because both our pizzas were sauce-less. Maybe if we had ordered a pie with their marinara, the salinity of the sauce would have perked things up.
So the Mr walked back up to the counter and asked for some of their marinara.
And it tasted like unseasoned stewed tomatoes.
Service is impeccable.
Space is perfect.
Setup is simple.
Food...well, maybe we just went on an off day. I know they're probably working out some kinks.
Go see for yourself. Maybe you'll have a different experience than we did.
