Okay , but not worth the hype or the price
I know this started as a food truck, but if you're going to open a brick and mortar location, it should actually feel like a restaurant. Right now, it still feels like the old space with very little personality. I wasn't expecting anything over the top, but some branding or atmosphere would have gone a long way.
One thing that also stood out: I placed my order at 2:23 PM and received a text that it was ready at 2:30 PM. Seven minutes for a pizza and chicken tenders seemed surprisingly fast. Maybe the kitchen is just incredibly efficient, but it did make me wonder how freshly everything was prepared, especially since the pizza didn't have the texture I expected.
Drama Queen Pizza 7/10
The flavor combination was really good. I loved the ricotta, and I appreciated that the hot honey came on the side instead of making the pizza soggy or messy.
The dough was cooked, but it was undercooked for the style of pizza they serve. It lacked the crispness and texture I was expecting, which took away from an otherwise tasty pizza. It was good, but not good enough to justify the $17 price tag, especially when there's strong pizza competition right down the road.
Gold Fever Dream Tendies 6.5/10
I honestly don't understand the hype.
I thought they were over salted but it did seem they use like a whole chicken breast so that was actually pretty good. They weren't anything spectacular, especially for $15.
The Gold Fever style sauce was pitched to me like it was their take on the 99 Restaurant sauce with a little buffalo mixed in. It was fine, but definitely not mind blowing. Also, like the 99 has been like MIA forever so I honestly don't know what sauce they're talking about.
Overall
The pizza was definitely the better of the two items, but neither one lived up to the hype or the price tag. Between the lack of atmosphere, the pizza not having the texture I expected, the unusually fast turnaround time, and the expensive menu, I left feeling underwhelmed.
Would I come back? Maybe to give another pizza a try because the flavor combinations have potential. However, honestly, I probably won't come back unless somebody requests going here. And based on this visit, I don't think the food justifies the cost. read more
