    Amazing! I love wood fired pizza so much. The service is quick and staff are always kind and…read morehelpful. Highly recommend the buffalo chicken pizza!

    Hanging over you as you wait for your food, there is a Wendell Berry poem reminding you that the…read morestars and the herons and other wild things "do not tax their lives with forethought of grief." My partner and I had ample time to read, ponder, and ponder again. We came to the conclusion that Folino's wields the poem as a sort of psychological weapon. We ordered two small pizzas. We were told they would take 15 to 20 minutes to make. Folino's was not busy. When the 20 minute mark hit, we looked around, and I pointed out to my partner that it looked like two pizzas had just gone into the oven. We read the poem again. At the 30 minute mark, when the two pizzas came out, I got a look at them, and they looked like exactly what we had ordered. I smiled, glad to be filling my growling belly soon, and read the poem one last time. Wendell Berry urged "peace." I waited for the cashier to call our name. Another ten minutes passed. Workers laughed with each other, and more pizzas went into the oven. I gathered my shame -- Wendell Berry says worries are unnatural things! -- and asked the cashier for an update on our order. She told us they were working on it. I read the poem again. Imagine our surprise when, one full hour after we'd placed our order, the cashier walked to the *original* two pizzas we'd seen go into the oven, and finally call our name. They'd been sitting on the counter for 30 minutes, enjoying their own "peace." Does Folino's think reminding us that wild animals would gladly eat cold pizza is going to convince us their service is good? That it's the natural state of the world? Hire some adult humans, next time, maybe. This is a restaurant, not the wilderness!
