This place in awesome! Such a gem for a little town, if ever in the area again I would definitely make the drive just to eat here. The whole time I was thinking how great it would be to have in a bigger city, it would definitely thrive.
I ate there two days in a row for lunch, so I had the pleasure of trying a few different things. Lets hope that I wasn't being impartial just because I was really hungry and working in the rain...
Walking in there is a sign with these little checks saying why you should eat there, one of which being "best pizza in town", as well as other true statements. I liked the fact that it was a hybrid between a deli and a sit down restaurant, and the atmosphere doesn't take away from either setup. They also boast that everything is freshly made in house, and it's obvious, giving all their dishes great flavor and quality.
The first day I ordered chicken and broc alfredo- it was sooo good! REAL alfredo sauce, chicken and broc were done just right, it was served with a basket of bread and butter, and oh yeah, it was HUGE! I'm a big eater so I managed to put it all away, but I think normally you'd be taking leftovers home, so it makes it worth the $14 pricetag.
We chatted it up with the employees who were very pleasant and polite, and I said how I was sad I didn't get to try "the best pizza in town", but that I may be back.
As promised I arrived the next day, sopping wet and cold, so I ordered a bowl of seafood chowder (again, made from scratch, so good) and a small pineapple and bacon (yes, bacon bacon, I prefer the crunch and salty taste to canadian bacon or ham).
So another awesome meal! The chowder came out in the HUGE bowl that I totally wasn't expecting, with hearty well cooked potatoes, delicious fish, and other things you usually expect. It was very filling but I HAD to try the pizza that just got set before me too, especially since it appeared to be FRESHLY MADE BACON! (Mmm!) As in he just cooked it up before putting it on? I thought I heard it sizzling on the grille anyway, maybe I'm wrong, but either way it was amazing. The crust was crunchy, a bit on the thin side, and it held it's form, toppings, and cheese just fine. The sauce was perfect for what I like pizza sauce to be.
I got the other half in a box to go, cleaned my bowl of chowder up with my pizza crusts and went on my way full and satisfied once again.
While I do enjoy Italian food, I don't always like eating at Italian places because they're kind of generic and mediocre. This place is far from mediocre. It rivals some of the "better" Italian places in Worcester, MA and the pizza is also phenomenal. I wish it was closer!
