Pizzazz On the Circle

Despite living close to this place, my family has not eaten here frequently.  After my last visit, I am clueless as to why that is the case.

First of all, they have a very good beer (bottle and draft) selection, and a full bar.  Always a plus.

Great apps - we shared the calamari and the fried mozz.  We don't usually get fried mozz, but this place has some of the best we've ever had.

The salads are pretty good, too.  They have a large salad that my wife and I split, and still had enough to take home.  Those who have commented on the house Italian are right on the money - it is very good.

We shared some pizza.  One minor complaint here is that my wife ordered meatball and it appears we got sausage instead.  Still tasted okay, though.  In general, the pizzas are very good.  I have had their sheet pizzas on other occasions, and they are also outstanding.

The biggest complaint would be regarding the shrimp tacos I ordered.  The waitress gave me her recommendation, and although they looked appetizing, they were only so-so.  I thought the idea of tacos at an Italian restaurant was strange, and I should have stuck with my gut.  Maybe the others are better...all I know is I'll be having some pasta next time.

Overall, a very nice visit.  Service and food were good, and the family left full and happy.

They have one of the best tasting pizzas on the east side. Great for college students at John Carroll University.

They also just added chicken & steak tacos to their menu, and I must say, they are now one of my favorite items they offer.

I was a little leery trying tacos from a pizza place, but they are definitely worth it.

Great selection of draft beer especially for such a small place. Definitely better selection of beer than that "speakeasy" place downstairs (HA! found you sucker via wifi network).  Mech, pompous bartender down there for a such a low rundown bar.

I got the El Diablo specialty pizza and added pineapples on it. Spicy advertised. Spiciness denied... well for the most part. The pizza is a bit watery. Not cool especially for those who love to eat with their hands.

All the waitresses, presumably college girls with John Carroll University next door,  wear spandex pants and black v-necks. Yea yea yea, some eye candy you suppose, but not really. You have to see my girlfriend with hers on. I know, iBrag.

4 for beer.
2.5 for food.
You can't budge me for a 4. Sorry!
