Really enjoyed it. I had been in the mall area a few times and never noticed this place as it is tucked away at the end! The pizza was very good, well baked. The crust was very thin and good texture. What I really liked is that they had 8", 12", and 16" option! The 8" is perfect for lunch or a light dinner. I got the ultimate which was good, and they loaded on the toppings, but it didn't feel overdone. I would like to go back and try a few other options, as there were many to choose from! They have vegan options and gluten free options (see menu). 4 beers on tap, with lighter beer, a brown, an IPA so you can find something to drink. A handful of wine options and a small cocktail /spritz menu (you will find something you like). Bar seating as well as table seating. The staff was great! Super friendly and helpful. Try to make you feel like family and friends. This is clearly a neighborhood favorite as there were many people that seem to come in frequently and the staff knew them by name. Lots of take out order as well as steady walk in business. I would...
Read morehey! i am a pre-teen picky eater wanting to give some insight that’s from a different point of view! i just want to say THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! i came here with my dad thinking it would just be any regular pizza place, and WAS I WRONG. they have one of those fancy pizza ovens which makes the dough very crunchy, but like crunchy in a good way. i got the white pie with ham and it was DELICIOUS!!! i usually am very very VERY picky about where i eat (especially when it comes to pizza), but this place is great and i ate the whole pizza. the atmosphere is fun and wasn’t too loud to the point where you can’t have simple conversations and it wasn’t overwhelming at all. as someone who’s taller than most my age, sitting with an adult who’s taller, i will say the table we were seated at was a bit hard to fit our legs in. i had to turn sideways to fit comfortably without us kicking each other. overall, i would recommend this place if you’re looking for an affordable, fun, and friendly place to have some...
Read moreI’m eating at my favorite pizza spot, Proto’s Pizza. The pizza oven was imported from Italy. The thin crust pizza cooks in a flash.
I ordered the Vanilla Italian Cream Soda. Made with vanilla Monin syrup and just a splash of half and half.
The starter was a fresh Caprice salad with thick slices of tomato and mozzarella.
The pizza was the Traditional, homemade tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. Can’t get more simple. The twist is the shredded mozzarella cheese is famous Bocio Cheese, which has a splash of Buffalo milk added. A delicious creamy cheese.
I watched a Margharita D.OH.C. boxed up. It was unlike any margharita pizza I’ve ever seen. Chuncks of tomato, with the basil added AFTER baking. I try that one next time!
I can recommend the original Proto’s Pizza with the highest quality. Ps: the same manager has been running the restaurant since the day it opened in 1999. She...
