The good:
The pizza is actually pretty good.
We went here after the nearby Mexican restaurant was packed and we were hungry. Why not try them? The staff is really really nice but this is where the story really begins or ends...no beer, seriously, there are advertisements plastered on the walls and tables listing six different beers and they have none. Ok, not the end of the world, and the cashier was truly helpful and even looked in the back for some options. So we get our pizza and if you know their setup they have a big glass window that lets you watch the prepping and cooking of your pizza from the dining area. Kinda cool until you see the guy over the pizza ingredients has his mask hanging below his chin. Ok, not wanting to be Karen and realizing that if this guy has anything the 800 degree oven will surely zap anything from COVID to measles. Stil a bit unsettling but he was a pretty big dude and probably needed as much oxygen as possible.
So we go back a couple of weeks later...rinse and repeat and it just gets worse. More unmasked cooks and there's but one lonely beer dying a slow cold death in an otherwise empty frig. WTH people, there's a Giant a block away, how hard is it to stock the beer? Shame on me but again the pizza was good and the cashier was very nice. They do have the tables marked for social distancing so we feel like they're trying and having worked in a pizza place, the kitchen can be uncomfortable. Thank you for sun scorching ovens :-)
Ok, why would be we go again? Pizza is good and surely after a month and going on a weekday night there's got to be beer. No one could have left the lonely beer to die alone? Oh yes, they have...no beer again. Seriously, take the signs down that you even have beer as an option. Unplug the frig and list it on marketplace and stop fooling us. We even asked if we could bring a drink from the other restaurant that always stocks beer and margaritas. Apparently not, ok, maybe you could form a partnership with them to work out how beer is procured? Seriously, we're not lushes but an ice-cold Stella with a fresh pepperoni pizza...thank you, you just caught up to why we're so bummed.
So we do see the "manager" or owner, not sure which one she is but guess who was sporting through the alcohol-free pizza place without a mask, at any point, in the kitchen, in the dining area? Yes, she was so we know the root of the mask issue. Again, not the end of the world but if you can't get that right you're probably not paying attention to the other things. I'm probably just bitter about the beer and taking my frustration out on the mask. Is it the beer or the mask, what came first?
In all seriousness, this could be a great little pizza joint. We hate Pepsi products so that doesn't help but stock some beer and tighten up on the masks or close the panoramic window that lets customer see what you're not doing. Your staff is great, they'll follow your lead. read more
