Notes: This location has hosted numerous enterprises in recent years - a coffee shop, a BYO wine restaurant, and now a friendly neighborhood pizzeria. From the outside, it doesn't look like much, but on the inside, it kind of feels like dining in someone's home (that has a stone oven inside it - gosh, we wish we had friends with one of those!). That could be good or bad, depending on how you're feeling that day, but we rolled with it.
We were seated at a table directly under a heater, which was kind of uncomfortable, in that J's hair might have singed just a touch. But, whatever, it was a cold day at the end of a long week, so at least we weren't at work.
We each order pizzas - T picked the Spinach, J selected the Tuscan. The Spinach (see below) featured red pepper, goat cheese, mozzarella, chicken and, well, spinach. It was fine. The Tuscan had red pepper, arugula, sausage and mozzarella (he passed on the sauteed onions). It, too, was fine. The pizzas came out looking pretty huge, but in reality, it was just air. We both left the place in need of a pit stop for a snack on the way home, which is never a good thing - but it's a reality when you pay $17 apiece for a pizza that doesn't fill you up. So, in other words, it was good, but too expensive for what it was. Our dining companions, on the other hand, had the gourmet burger, which was huge and featured fried salami on top. That one looked like a winner (and sounded like one, too, based on their reviews).
Final Verdict: Ok pizza, but a little expensive for what it was.
