When you want upscale Pizza with the most crunchy airy chewy crust in an aesthetic outdoor setting that also happens to serve delicious salads then you want to come here. It's my second time here and the food did not disappoint. Our waitress Kendall was great and the food came out quickly. Highly recommend the Dante Pizza although I got it without the pickled peppers because I'm wimpy and have no spice tolerance. My daughter got the champion cheese pizza and loved it and we also split the house salad which I highly recommend
My friend told me about this place a while ago, but I only recently was able to visit. Long line but the wait was about 10-15 mins. We ordered one round pizza (LA Foresta) and one square (artichoke and spinach). Liked the round pizza. The crust was good, but it definitely has a harder consistency than regular Napolitano pizza. Eat it quickly because as soon as it cools down, the crust become super hard that it almost cut the inside of my mouth. Same goes for the square pizza. It has the consistency of focaccia, although, not as springy. It gets hard pretty quickly when it gets to room temperature. Service is good, note, you get 90 mins to dine in. But definitely expect to wait for a table.
Simply divine pizzas and salads. - It would be nice to have a custom option - Pick your crust and toppings for an even better experience I also got the YUZU lemonade. It was robust / strong in flavor. I diluted it with some cold water. Service was a touch lackluster. Sometimes I had to ask 3x to get the wait staff to bring us what was needed. It is dining al fresco, bring a jacket. But the place was poppin! 2nd floor is a little warmer.
Absolutely love truly pizza!!! I prefer thick pizza with a lot of toppings so this was perfect! We got the smoky vodka to go. The burrata was melted and so soft!! All the flavors combined complemented each other really well. I'd pass on the wings... We came 30 min before closing and they still took our order to go- even though it takes ~30 min to cook the pizza. The restaurant itself is very upscale, the decor is nice, and there's a swirly stairway that leads to the second floor. I'll definitely want to dine in next time!
It was good, above average. The pizza crust is very good. I also got a sandwich that was ok. Not enough meat for the price. I hate when you get to the end of the sandwich and the meat is gone, that's what happened with this sandwich. The service needed some work. The waiter was nice but he went on a break and the people covering for him disappeared. We had to ask the hostess for our check.
What TRULY amazing dining experience. This restaurant is perfect for a day date. Fresh air, shining sun, beautiful ambience, and delicious pizza! If opentable says reservations are full, fear not. We called in and were able to get a table no problem. We ordered the Spagnola salad, Champion cheese round pizza, and the Smoky vodka square pizza. Everything was a 10/10. We were even surprised at how much we liked the champion cheese (we had to find out how a cheese pizza could win a medal). Highly recommend!!
Truly the best!! No pun intended. Wow wow wow. I came here on a Saturday night and thankfully we had reservations. The ambiance is beautiful outdoor seating and I love that they have heaters and even offer blankets which I needed because it was a chilly evening. Our server Jen was a sweetheart and offered us some great recommendations. We started off with their garlic bread this is an absolute must, sooo soft, so garlicky and so flavorful. 10/10 We also got the pepperoni pizza and the truly pizza which our server recommend half garlic and mushroom omg so so go gooood!!! Their pizza was absolutely delicious and I definitely would come back again and try their other items. One thing that I did notice is the staff they all were very kind from the hostess to the servers, you can tell they all enjoy working here. Great food, great ambience, highly recommend!
Best pizza I've ever had & I live in NYC so that's saying something. Service was amazing and truly the most gorgeous ambience. Could not recommend it more--found it through Instagram and so thankful I did. Will be returning soon!
