Brick Wood Fired Pizza & Pasta

I give this a solid 4 stars based on both the pizza and the bar area.  Service has always been good and the pizza has been above average - although I do tend to like thin crust pizza and give most places that serve it the benefit of the doubt!  I also think the value is pretty good considering they provide salad and bread sticks as an included appetizer.

The beer selection is very good as is the happy hour.  I like the bar area - very chill and I find it a great place to grab a beer.

This is a great little pizza place with a somewhat upscale appearance. The service was excellent, and the prices were reasonable.  The free focaccia and salad were a nice touch.  The bread was served with a hearty marinara which we enjoyed.  The salad was mostly iceberg (which I personally prefer) and was served with a tangy-ranchy-caesary-parm cheese dressing.  I ordered the Delmonico with steak fries.  It was simple but cooked well and satisfied my craving for a steak. I will definitely be back!

Ordered takeout from here the other night because I had a coupon.  The place on the inside seemed very nice, I like what they've done with this seemingly cursed location.  The brief interactions that I had with the waitstaff were very nice, they all seemed cute, happy, collegial, and willing to serve.  It seemed like the service was pretty good at most of the tables I was looking at around the place.  Everything was really great... except the pizza.

The pizza was just not great (and thankfully, I had a coupon, otherwise it would have also been crazy expensive).  For a wood-fired place the crust was way too thick, it was in this strange zone that was too thick to be thin-crust and too thin to be a thick-crust pizza.  But really a wood fired place should have thin crusts.  The middle was pretty doughy, and it had no flavor of fire or smoke at all.  The pizza was also pretty greasy, but that may have been due to the fact that it was take out and the grease came to the top on the drive home.  One other minor compliant, the menu was extremely busy with very small font.

All in all, great service, but it's a pizza place, and the pizza wasn't good.
