My review is regarding the food I ordered, as opposed to giving 2 stars for the service.
First, despite being left at the front door waiting for a while before being acknowledged, the service was decent. We had an efficient server and the gentleman who set our table chatted with us a bit before leaving and was very kind.
My friend and I ordered the fries for a starter. They are triple fried and were served with a dip reminiscent of cheez whiz ( but better quality). Definitely delicious.
Our meal here sort of fell apart when we ordered our pizzas, the Dr. octopi and the Californian.
Dr Octo-Pi obviously had octopus, seaweed, bonito flakes and corn.
It had generous toppings, but tasted waaaay too fishy. For my palate the dish had too much saltiness due to the ingredients. The Californian was a joke. The smoked salmon tasted terrible, or the few slivers there smattered half hazzardly on the pizza. There were random melting chunks of mascarpone and almost nothing else. We only had a piece each before boxing it up to take away. Why did we box it up? ( hate waste, boyfriend will eat anything)
The next day, even he wouldn't eat the leftovers. I can honestly say that I have never throw away left over pizza in my life, until now.
Anywho, the restaurant was very busy and maybe there are other items on the menu that shine. According to the other reviews, people truly enjoy their experience here.
Hoping mine was a one off. I read that two former employees of Sugo opened the place and I always try to support smaller businesses hoping they can stick around for the long term.
