What drew us in to try Wheated is probably what gets most people in the door, and is by itself a good enough reason. It's an authentic Brooklyn pie that does not disappoint. On our first visit here, we were seated next to a table of 6 grey-haired women, and every one of them ordered their own pie, so they would not have to share and they would all have something to take home. They were licking their own fingers and taking photos -- it was a delight.
But I want to hype the salads and our meatball appetizer. We ordered a simple mixed green salad with green apple and walnuts, and it was beautifully done, and large enough to split. The meatball was wonderful too. We saw others getting different salads, and all of them looked equally good. The salad, of course, is a nice counterbalance for the pizza, while the meatball is egregious (especially at a table of two people), but some days are occasions, right?
I will say, however, that I don't quite buy into the cocktail push here. I know that Louisville is a cocktail town, and generally I'm on board. But I don't think I'm alone in the thought that pizza calls for beer or maybe a Coke. Michael did order a cocktail, and it was good. But I noticed that while we were eating, that cocktail was sitting on the sidelines waiting for its turn. I would have enjoyed seeing some better beer options, but honestly, it didn't matter -- I was here for the food.
