I was in the area doing some shopping and knew that this place had recently opened. I had never tried their pizza before and wanted to see what all the hype was about. It was not hard finding the place - it is right at the corner of Century Blvd and Town Commons Drive, with 2 entrances to the restaurant. Parking was easy on a weekend - there is street parking and you can also park in a lot that is shared with Navy FCU and Safeway.
I entered through the door on Century Blvd, and once in the restaurant, I thought I was going through the back entrance (that is the look that part of the place gave me). There is a long table with several chairs to your right and to the left of that table is where you would line up to order your food. Menus are available for you to grab and look at, so I grabbed one and decided to get out of the line since I didn't know what to order. Note that the place is very small. Seems more like a carryout than a restaurant - there are only a few tables in the place overall.
You can order a salad (choose from 3), have them make a pizza with your choice of dough, sauce, spread, cheese or toppings, or order a Signature pizza (8 to choose from). On this visit, I decided to try one of their Signature Pizzas called the Maverick. It has Classic Tomato, Housemade Mozzarella, Salami, Pepperoni, Hot Sausage, Parmesan Reggiano, and Oregano Oil. You get to choose the dough your pizza will be made on and I got the Traditional (I figure I wanted to keep one item I knew of). I don't like anything spicy and so I was going to switch out the Hot Sausage for Meatballs, but decided not to do it at the last minute. I am so glad I decided not to change anything.
They also had some housemade sodas. There were a few on their menu that I wanted to try, but once I took a taste of the first one I picked (Mango & Passion Fruit), the others didn't have a chance (well they didn't have a chance today). That soda was delicious and I don't drink sodas as much anymore (this might have to be an exception).
I took my pizza to go...big mistake. Want to know why? Well, this pizza was delicious and after going back to my ride and tasting it, I wanted to eat the pizza and not drive. I really enjoyed the pizza and this housemade soda...so good. The Hot Sausage, had a tiny kick to it, but I was able to manage it. The green sauce they added to the pizza was great (I might ask for more of that sauce on my next visit). I did not want to put the pizza down - that is how good it was. Never try to drive and eat pizza (It wasn't me - in my Shaggy voice). I will try another Signature Pizza on my next visit.
Here is something to ponder:
Is Housemade a word? I thought it was Homemade. Anyways, still good food. read more
