I haven't been here in so long that I forgot I actually have been here!
I had a craving for a pastrami sandwich and a cesar salad combo, so with Yelp to the rescue for what feels like the millionth time, this place popped up.
I was surprised since it's primarily a pizza joint.
I was also interested in their garlic knots, so I got one of those as well.
It was convenient that they had a website to pre-order my grub and with a couple of errands to do at DT El Segundo, it was incredibly convenient.
I came through 10 minutes early, so it was only fair they weren't ready for my food. I got the chance to take a look at some of their delicious pizza slices and couldn't help but try a slice of their Hawaiian. So, that, along with my online orders were ready and packed up to go almost at the exact time I wanted it.
GARLIC KNOTS: Freshly baked dashed with parmesan with marinara dip. It was too much so I shared it with a couple of colleagues. They enjoyed it as much as I did - so much that they pledged to stop by sometime soon. It was warm and fluffy and so delicious, what a great starter!
CESAR SALAD: I requested to add kalamata olives because I love Cesar salads with anchovies, but since since anchovies weren't really an option, I figure the saltiness of the olives were a good sub. Veggies were fresh and crispy! Perfect amount of dressing. Great starter as well.
HAWAIIAN PIZZA: I know, there's a divide with pizza lovers with this: do pineapples really deserve/not deserve to be in a pizza? No matter, this was delicious, but my favorite here is the thin and crispy crust!
PASTRAMI SANDWICH: Sans pickles and mustard on the side, It didn't look like much, but it was exactly what I wanted. Since I filled up with a lot of them knots and the pizza slice and some salad, I decided to eat less than half. I have had better, for sure, but it decent at best.
FOOD: 4.5.
VALUE: 4.
SERVICE: 5. The fact that my food was ready when promised even after seeing so many peeps coming in and out for dine-in and take out orders.... boom.
PARKING: Private lot shared with others and street parking available. It will get packed during the lunch rush. Plan accordingly.
OVERALL: 4.5.
I got to look around while I waited for my food and saw that I could have gotten the exact combo I wanted for much less AND added drink. (I wish they had this option on their website!) Lesson learned - sometimes it's just better to order onsite.
Well deserved bump. They're definitely in my radar from now on...
