Great pizza - 4 stars!
How can you resist trying pizza from a company with a rocket logo and a big cartoon pizza with a cute Chijuajua face in the middle? I know I couldn't resist. I hunted them down tonight at Aegir Brewing in Elk River.
I ordered 2 pizzas, one to eat at the brewery and one for later. I got two because I had a feeling they'd taste great. And I wasn't disappointed. I got the "Dude Man" and the "Cool Man". Despite the name, the cool man had some yummy spicy heat - yow! I love some heat. Good stuff.
Both pizzas had a nice wood fired mottling on the crust. I could taste a generous amount of high grade Mozzarella Cheese. There were some nice little details too, like a light drizzle of honey on the crust...savory with a hint of sweet...a nice touch.
My only (minor) criticism is both crusts were doughy and floppy, a little undercooked. They only needed an extra minute or two on the heat. I'm willing to cut them some major slack, however, because it was only 17 degrees. They were cooking everything under an open air tent canopy and they were all wearing winter puffer coats. Wow, the Red Rocket crew is dedicated and tough - they're definitely native Minnesotans!
Red Rocket is pretty new and they told me a food trailer is on order and being built-out right now. Stop by if they're in your area. You won't be disappointed.
Thumbs up!
