To be fair, I made the mistake of not opening the takeout box before tipping and leaving. The “pizza” was entirely burnt on the bottom, and you can see the level of burn on the top. When I picked up each slice, a lot of it would just crumble into dust leaving a see-through, burnt, cracker. The entire thing was dry and crumbly. As for flavor, I tasted little outside of burnt but the one slice that was less burnt was fine, but underwhelming. For what I think is a pricey pizza, I would’ve expected to be able to eat over 60% of it, maybe my expectations were too high. Food: 1 Service: 1 Price per person: $20–30

Last night, I mentioned this to our server and asked if they'd cook ours a little extra to address the issue, but we still got slices with droopy tips, where folding the slice was our only remedy for the lack of structural integrity. She told our table that it's a 700 degree oven, so we have to believe that a perfect pie is possible. Please, please, please review your time-in-the-oven metrics; I want this place to be as good as I remember! Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4
