What was once a great pizza place is now a good pizza place. I've been coming here on and off for fifteen years. It's been a dive bar or a restaurant, depending on my mood and company. I've watched them grow, too, and that's been wonderful.
It'd been a while, but I convinced my partner to give it a try. She hadn't been in a while, if ever. The beer menu offered many local options, but she's not into IPA's or pale ales, and it's not stout season, so she had a water. She deferred to me for the food, and seeing as how they're now Bohemian Pizza & Tacos, why not the taco pizza?
Fatal mistake.
We started with the fried green beans. Sadly, that was the highlight, despite getting only enough pre-packaged sauce for half a person. (And why serve it in a sealed plastic container? Are tiny bowls expensive now?"
The taco pizza was good, but there was no taco seasoning. There were no taco toppings. It was all unseasoned beef and lettuce, and some nondescript crema (or "cream", as I'll call this bland mess). While it was a 3.25-star burger pizza, we ordered a taco pizza, so I've got to knock it down. I will say the crust was a wonderful blend of New York and New Haven styles, with both fluffiness and char, but it wasn't enough to save the pizza.
As we paid the bill, we somehow for charged over $100 extra. Turns out the waitstaff screwed up. Accidents happen, and they were more than apologetic; they made it right and I still tipped them pretty well, but that put a sour taste in my mouth after the pizza left a bland taste behind.
All in all, I still like this restaurant, but after a bland pizza (they didn't even offer hot sauce to save it), too little sauce with the appetizer, and a terrible billing error, it's going to be a long time before I come back. I wish I'd reviewed them before, because I know for a fact that there's a five-star pub and pizzeria hiding under this deep two-star mediocrity.
