Finding this place wasn't hard after looping around to get parking, as I looked for the entrance as there were two, but once I got to the right one as the place was a little busy but the staff was amazing and got a table inside on the second entrance where the bar was at. I started off with the meatball as well as the gourmet cheese bread. The meatball was very seasoned as the sauce was nice and chunky. The herbs were fresh as the bread with the dish was delicious as the parmesan just gave it the extra hit. The gourmet cheese bread definitely surprised me as I saw they used Tillamook cheese, I would have thought they would have used something locally or something from Italy giving with the majority of the high-quality ingredients but Tillamook is one a great quality choices from Oregon to use as well that cheese pull left a smile on my face. I got a slice of the four cheese pizzas to give it a try as the big slice was a nice take of New york style, and the crust was cooked just right as it had a wonderful crunch and it wasn't chewy. I ended up taking home two pies. One was the pirate, and the presidio just without mushroom as both pizzas were amazing, and the next day, the crust not rubbery or chewy, still with that soft chew and crunch with the outside layer. This place took me by surprised as it can be costly and not in everyone budgets for many visits through the week, but with the high quality of ingredients, it's definitely once in a while visits to enjoy it and savor every bite. I know this will be on my list, and the names for the dishes of each pizza are California inspired. It did give me a little California vibe from the Bay Area. This East Bay guy definitely enjoyed the...
Read moreFamily was visiting from out of state and so I wanted to take them here. I'd been here about 6 weeks earlier and everything was fantastic; food, service, beer. Unfortunately, this second visit (7 PM on a Sunday) left much to be desired. We only had to wait about 20 minutes to get in, so I'm thinking so far, so good (the previous wait time was 70 minutes, but worth it). There was 8 of us altogether, we looked at the beer menu and ordered. The place was NOT packed, although there were a good number of patrons. Waitress came back and told my wife they were out of the beer she wanted, and mine too. So we ordered a different beer, again, waitress came back and said they were out. So third time the charm, we got our third choice. The waitress mentioned that they weren't really "out" of our earlier beers, they just didn't have them tapped, and, you know, it's a bit time consuming to tap a new keg. Wow. I'll gladly wait the extra 5-10 minutes for what I REALLY wanted, but I didn't get that choice. We ordered three pizzas and appetizers. Appetizers came out fairly quickly. Pizzas were another story. Two came out after about a 50 minute wait, followed by the third another 5 minutes after that..and...it...was...not our pizza. They quickly resolved it and brought our actual pie a couple minutes later. The pizza was very good (although, it seemed the crust was somehow different from our previous visits). We'll probably try them ONE more time to see if this visit was an anomaly. I hope so, but if not, well, there are a LOT of other pizza places that...
Read moreUpdate:10/22/24. Gave this place a 2nd chance. Dont expect all the staff there to be helpful. Not all staff are bad. Just one girl I assumed is a cook. No one was at the door and saw her see me then walk away. Had to walk up to her since she was the closest to ask for my pick up order. She told me i can go pick it up at the other pick up location. I asked her where. She JUST point west saying its a block down. Went on a whild goose chase looking for the other location drove back furious. Luckily a nice dude taking out the trash was able to give me direct communicative directions that the location was north and he was nice enough to tell me how to get there. Not sure if that cook girl thought it funny to send me in the wrong direction and make my family wait longer to eat a late night dinner. It wasn't funny to us. I went back because I held my promise to the manager there to return. This is my last time giving your business a chance. You lost a family of costumers.
Expect a long wait after you've beet sat. Don't take a waiter who is tall and lanky. He will forget part of your order and forget to check his table for food order being messed up. No communication. Had he told me the kitchen crew messed up my order I would have understood. But he didn't. I was the only one in my party who didn't get their complete order and received my half order after my party ate their food. Do...
