Great pizza, great service, great SALAD. Our favorite is the spicy feta dip.
Very authentic pizza. Loved the decor and the service. Probably the only downside is in the number of options available. But what the menu lacks in quantity, it makes up for twice over in quality.
This place makes some good personal-sized Neopolitan pizza. Love the thin, chewy, slightly charred crust but the only con is that it was slightly soggy (not underdone) in the middle of the pizza. Flavors of the dishes were simple, light, and fresh, like other Neopolitan pizzas I've tried.
Service was excellent and our waitress was attentive and quick throughout the meal.
It's a small restaurant and seating gets easily crowded. The lighting is good near the windows but gets dimmer the more you go into the restaurant.
The pizza was good, with a very rustic wood-fire character. The San Marzano sauce was very nice. The crust is good, but lacking crunch despite a tad too much char for my taste. The menu options are compelling for what it is and there's an OK beer and wine list (better than expected for the venue).
But the cost was high for what it was. At the end of the day, you can get far better pizza far cheaper elsewhere.
The biggest con, though, is place itself. It's ridiculously cramped to the point where you can't get up to go to the bathroom without asking other diners to move. And when it's filled up (not hard to do) it's so loud you'll think you're at Alehouse during happy hour. Very hard to have conversation.
The foods pretty good. The salads, ironically, are the best part. There's a good drink selection. I love Neapolitan pizza, so I was super excited for this to open. Unfortunately the flavors have just been a bit flat. The sauce needs more kick. It could use a more flavorful cheese like buffalo mozzarella. The dough is perfect Neapolitan though, so just work to bring up the flavors like the salads and you'd be in for a real treat. Tables are a bit to small, but has a quaint date feel.
