Coming from the states that debate who has better pizza and bagels, I'm always skeptical of trying out new pizza places that aren't in NY and NJ (and Italy for that matter haha).
However, I'm the type of person to give a restaurant a chance, especially when it's nearby and especially if more than two people have recommended it to me. Today I was right across at my usual spot (Costco) and I've heard good things about Extreme Pizza from people in my apartment, so today I decided to give it a go and pass on the $2 pizza slice at Costco.
Here's what I liked:
CHEESINESS:
the biggest thing I look for in pizza is how much cheese is on it. This pizza had a thick layer of melty, gooey, cheese, and I was here for it!
DIFFERENT CRUST
My favorite kind of crust is Neapolitan, and second is New York Pizza crust. While this crust was not my "favorite," there was still much to appreciate. If you're a flat crust pizza person, this place is for you! Though it is flat crust, there was a hint of chewiness to the crust too. If I were to categorize this pizza, it would closely fall under flatbread style pizza.
COST EFFECTIVE
My partner and I opted for one pepperoni slice and one cheese slice which totaled to around $9 and some change. We looked around at the people around us that got full pizza pies and we were worried that our single slices would be small... it was a pleasant surprise that our "single slices" were actually two slices, which made our pizza's worth the price we paid *WHEW*
Here's what I was neutral about:
SPORTS ON TV
if you're a sports fan, this place is for you as they keep ESPN on both televisions. I'm not following anything, but as I write this review the World Cup is on so it gave us something to hear about
DECOR
again, if you're into sports and outdoorsy stuff, you'll appreciate the kayak and the snowboard used as decor here
MUSIC
I like rock music but at some points the music was leaning close to hard rock/heavy metal. Not something I'd appreciate eating my food to if I'm being quite honest, but if you're into that, this place is for you given they play that kind of music when you go in
Overall, not bad of an experience! If ever I have friends over and they want something simple like pizza, I would definitely get a pie from here!
