My family doesn't go out to eat pizza very often; however, we have been wanting to try Pizza Domenica ever since they opened their doors at their new Lakeview location. The family and I finally went to give a try on 27 MAR 2022.
The parking lot is very small and the spaces are a little narrow; therefore, consider yourself lucky if you don't have to find street parking. We were immediately impressed by the ambiance and décor when we walked through the front door. The bar, although not huge, has space for 7 or 8 patrons, and there is a pretty solid selection from which to choose. The metal "stamped" ceiling definitely classes it up a bit and the stacked wood on top of the visible oven is a tell tale sign that this is a wood fired operation.
We arrived around 1:30 PM and were immediately greeted and seated by the hostess. Our server, MaryKaitlyn was definitely the highlight of our visit, as she was friendly and checked on us frequently enough to keep all of our drink glasses full.
We had the meatballs with polenta appetizer and it was definitely a great appetizer. The polenta was so tasty and the red gravy was perfect. The meatballs were seasoned quite well and there was definitely not an overuse of bread crumbs. These balls were definitely meaty. The pizza was a little bit of a letdown. As my son only likes cheese pizza, we got 1/2 cheese and 1/2 mushrooms and fennel sausage. The sausage was some of the best I've ever had. Not sure where it's made, but it's good. However, I wish they would have used more mushrooms and sausage. Also, the crust, although thin, was not crisped at all. In fact, it was a little soft and soggy and could not be picked up very easily without it drooping and letting all the toppings fall off. Also, with 8 slices per pizza, you'd expect 4 slices of 1/2 cheese and 1/2 mushrooms and fennel sausage. However, our 4thpieces of the sausage and mushroom had 1 slice of mushroom and almost no sausage. Perhaps I'm a little picky, but you can check out my picture and form your own opinion.
Thanks MaryKaitlyn for being such a great server.
