After seeing neighbors raving about Pizza and More for months in one of the Facebook groups I'm apart of, it was on my short list for when it came time to choose a restaurant that my whole family would enjoy. I called just after opening on a Saturday morning and spoke to a very warm and friendly woman who took down my name and party info, confirming our reservation for that evening. Just based off that initial phone call I already had a good impression of the place.
Upon our arrival our table was all ready to go so we were seated straight away. Our server (I'm kicking myself for not remember his name, but he was a tall gentleman) came straight to the table taking drink orders and whatever else we were ready for. When one of the runners brought drinks to our table he noticed our 4-year-old and asked if she wanted juice or anything besides water to drink. My daughter is a fiend for apple juice so I said yes, to which he asked whether I wanted it diluted or just the way it came. It may seem like a trivial thing to be impressed about to most, but we dine out a LOT as a family and I've never once been asked whether I wanted her juice diluted, so it really showed me how well Pizza and More are set up and willing to cater to families and their children, too. Extra props just for that!
We all had similar food on the brain and ended up ordering a couple of salads (a caesar and two ensalatas de la casa) and THREE supreme pizzas. Ahead of our food we also ordered the garlic pesto knots which arrived quickly though sadly, they were just regular knots with no pesto, but it wasn't a big deal and they got eaten anyway. This was the least impressive part of our meal - I found the knots to be pretty dry and not all that appetizing, though I did enjoy the marinara dipping sauce.
While waiting for the rest of our food to arrive, my daughter began getting fidgety and wanting to bounce out of the booth. While trying to get her to keep it together, one of the employees who must've noticed swung by the table with a robot fidget toy for her to play with. This simple act of kindness toward my child rather than seeming annoyed was so very appreciated.
Our salads arrived large and fresh, with no unappetizing wilted lettuce to be found (the fastest way to ruin a good salad in my personal opinion). Our pizzas arrived shortly after the salads and they looked equally delicious - brimming with fresh toppings, not overly greasy and baked to perfection. The 12" pizzas were cut into four large pieces rather than your usual 6-8 pieces. Even so, my daughter demolished a full slice and then asked for more. Kid approved! Of the 3 pizzas, we were left with maybe 2.5 slices, a testament to how much everyone enjoyed their meal.
Throughout the duration of the night I enjoyed watching the interactions of the staff with the patrons, they definitely treat everyone like family at Pizza and More. At the end of our dinner we ordered a slice of cheesecake which everyone who had a bite thoroughly enjoyed. For our entire meal, a few glasses of wine and a couple of beers the bill total was very reasonable. I know everyone raves about the specials but we didn't try any of them this time - but just from eyeing everyone else's plates around the restaurant I already know what I'm ordering next time! The entire staff was warm even during our departure, thanking us for dining. Both my family and myself agree that we look forward to going back to Pizza and More very, very soon. read more
