My Boulánge & Tower Pizza — Restaurant in Columbus

2nd visit follow-up. Much friendlier staff this time. The female staff does a better job. French dip is very good, light and simple. Cheesy bread pretty good. Id describe this place as bakers that make pizza, not a pizza place. Sandwiches very good. Sides very good. Homemade ranch! 4.5 on the follow-up visit.

Initial review 3 stars Review is mostly for the atmosphere, not the food. These deli counter style places I just expect a little more out of. I don't like this kind of order and have a seat restaurant so unless the food just wows me, it's not gonna be a place that I frequent. Staff didn't help the vibe as it's a very pretentious kind of place where you feel like you're inconveniencing them by asking for anything. They could definitely take some pointers from Chick-fil-A. Anyways, rant over... I ordered a cheese pizza extra well. I wanted to hate this place because I don't like the atmosphere but the pizza was actually really good. The sauce on the pizza has great flavor. They didn't cook it well done enough, but if they had crisped up the pizza a little more, I probably would have gave them 4 stars. It was good enough that I'm going to give them a second chance but if they don't wow me on the next visit, I could probably forget about this place. Pizza isn't that much better than other local offerings. Really doesn't even feel like a pizza place to be honest. It was like a more snobby...

To begin with, the building itself on the inside is beautiful. It’s a narrow dining area due to the space of where it is in town, but the brickwork, the open ceilings, everything is very refined. I wish the look could’ve reflected the service, though. For the most part, the staff pretty much just disregarded us. Aside from one person, the staff just ignored us and seemed too bothered to even just acknowledge our presence, even when we were ready to place our order. The only one who genuinely seemed like he was happy to talk to us was some guy named Christian, who seemed personable and was the only member of staff that we had a positive interaction with. Aside from that, the food we ordered wasn’t bad, but it certainly wasn’t the best we’ve ever had. The pizza had too much cheese on it and the crust of the pizza was pretty soggy, even though it was very dark. Frankly, I found it comparable to pizza that you’d get at Pizza Hut, but about twice the cost. We were also never given plates to eat on at first. After we had our pizza, we had to go back up and ask for plates, to which someone just handed two plates to us over top of one of their displays and never said a word. It’s definitely a nice looking building on the inside, but the staff’s overall attitude and the atmosphere really made us feel highly unwelcome, and the food was a bit...

First time visit so I ordered a meal for dine in & took several other things with me to go. Everything was good despite my arrival near closing time which did significantly limit my choices as the display cases were nearly empty & I was informed that no more pizza was available either. The only thing I would’ve changed about the service I received was that my salmon broccoli quiche was warmed & I was taking it to go, which meant it would need to reheated again later. It still tasted great but was soggy by time I got around to it. The brisket sandwich was a nice change of pace from how brisket is typically served. It was very tender with slight hints of spicy & sweet, plus I really enjoyed that it was served with a salad. All the muffins were delicious, albeit a touch on the dry side, I will definitely be having more of them. The lemon bars are exactly what lemon bars are supposed to be & didn’t taste strongly of mass produced gelatin overpowered with fake lemon flavors. I’ll definitely make sure I get one every time I visit in the future. The cranberry twist was beautiful & had well balanced flavors, I would recommend trying, but it is not something I will personally buy on purpose again. Overall excellent visit and look forward to...
