SCORE CARD

Sauce: 6

Comments: The sauce was an average sauce, a little on the thin side, but nothing special. I wanted so bad for it to be the best thing to hit my lips and make me scream for joy but it didn't. I was, however, impressed by how fresh it was and how well it covered the entire pizza. Overall it wasn't too bad and the effort was there.

Cheese: 6.5

Comments: It was very fresh like the sauce and at first look it seemed like it would be exactly what I am looking for in the perfect pizza. Unfortunately the cheese was a little clumpy when you tried to shew it, and wasn't as stringy as i would have hoped. The cheese pulled a Houdini, in the fact that it looked the part but didn't quiet meet my standards of the cheese heaven experience I'm seeking.

Dough: 8

Comments:  Oh the dough.  I was impressed that the dough. It had such great texture and quite frankly, I would have eaten the dough by itself. It was a New York style pizza and the dough lived up to the name; at least on the dough end. It was thick enough to hold the cheese and sauce without flopping around like a sloppy dog tongue.  

Service: 5.5

Comments: The service was mediocre. It was a little strange, to be honest. The waitress would come to the table, ask one question, come back, ask on question, and so on and so forth. We had to order everything separate....drinks....appetizer.....bread....dinner.  I wan't them to ask me questions but she didn't really seem that she was too into getting the job done. Aside from that she was pleasant and everything came out in a timely manner.

Decor: 8

Comments: It was a breath of fresh air.  The walls were a nice burgundy and the tables matched and had nice cast iron backed chairs with cute patterns on the seat, with solid black stand-alone tables. There wasn't much seating but that made it nice to feel more homey; there weren't a lot of people in there but because it was so quaint, we didn't feel out of place. There was a small bar at the front of the restaurant that overlooked the place with nice accent lighting.

Overall: 6.8

Comments:  Other than the magical pizza cheese and the odd waitress, I enjoyed the food, decor and general atmosphere. I kind of wish I was a wine enthusiast so I could have indulged in what looked to be a very popular thing at this place.
