Burrata Caprese- 4

This was delicious! Everything about it is so tasty. The burrata was perfectly creamy, the arugula salad was fresh and the crostini with balsamic reduction was both sweet and savory. So why wasn’t this a 5? You can’t tell by the pic but the portion size was way off! They only give you 2 slices of crostini. Two!! Who gets cheap on bread?! You want 4 slices for sure. AND there was virtually no pesto. There was maybe half a teaspoon. What is anyone going to do with that? If they quit pinching pennies on portions this would be a must-have every time.

Margaritas & Margheritas- 3

So this is actually what brought us in. On Wednesdays for happy hour, they have a buy one get one free special. Buy a margarita cocktail and get a free margherita pizza. Heck of a deal right? And it is! But honestly, they were both only ok. The crust is bland and was burnt in a lot of spots and they went really light on the sauce. Pinching pennies again? IDK. That said the cheese was great and again, it was free. So can’t complain that much!

Overall, it’s a clean, casual brick-oven pizza joint in West Village that is still going through the growing pains of a new restaurant. Our server Taylor was great, but we waited awhile for the food and even longer for the drinks and there were only a few tables there at that time. And even though there was a promotion online AND the chalkboard at the entrance said Buy a Margarita get a Margarita pizza FREE, the manager initially told our server it was only half off. So while it was not at all an unpleasant experience and the burrata really was very good, they will need to prioritize winning over customers instead of cutting corners on cost.
