Their website has the slogan "It's not just a pizza, it's a pizza with a concept." Which I found absolutely insufferable right off the bat. Pizza is magnificent, all it takes is simple, quality ingredients to make it amazing. But if you want to break a sweat over-thinking it, be my guest.
I didn't see many reviews about their pasta and soup, so I ordered both. I got the cheese ravioli, which was honestly not as good as your standard pizzeria ravioli. The sauce was just kind of off, the whole thing was bland.
Their Tortellini in Brodo was actually pretty interesting though. I think brodo is enjoying a moment right now, and from what I can gather it either means a bone broth, or any kind of stock that's used as a broth for a soup. This had a distinct beef flavor that mixed interestingly with the tomatoes and cheese tortellini. I'm pretty sure they added Parmesan though which I found distracting.
I ordered the Bombay Special, no eggplant, extra sauce (from the photos you can tell they go a little light on it). As you can see from my photo, my pizza had a little mishap on the way. Not really sure what happened. The delivery guy didn't seem frazzled, it wasn't icier or colder than it has been, it was a smaller pizza so it wasn't too cumbersome. Was it the extra sauce that made everything slide off? I'm not sure. Either way, the pizza was surprisingly good for being so discombobulated. The sauce is sweet, and the toppings are FRESH. Not enough neighborhood joints use fresh toppings, so kudos to them.
So this is a 2 1/2 star review, but because I'm saying enough good things, I can't justify giving them 2 stars. I can't recommend the place, but I will give it another shot.
I feel that they tried hard to make their place clean and cozy. However, the service here is slow, and the food (I ordered pasta) is small in size and too salty. Hope that their pizzas won't disappoint me.
Just wanted people to know….. Flan has changed and is not as transcendent as I remember it. New flan place is not as ridiculously good. Pizza is still interesting and the service was friendly.
Fancy looking pizza joint from the outside but inside is a different story. With the looks of the exterior, would kinda assume they serve up some quality brick oven or even conventional oven style pizza but instead it's pretty generic. The ingredients are fresh but the pizza as a whole is very wet and floppy. There's no foundation. The philly cheesesteak pizza was real limp. The cheese was very stringy and the rest of the pizza just tasted like a gooey mush.
Verdict – Fancy everything, even the menu looks impressive, however the food itself, it's just not there. I can't help but notice whenever I pass by, they're always empty. There are other better pizza and cheaper alternatives in the neighborhood. Also, on a side note, their definition of a large size pizza pie is pathetic. You're on Woodside Ave, serve up some 'hood' size portions! This portion size belongs in hipster town.
