Miro's Comments: We violated our cheese pizza rule to our own detriment. It's not that it's not a very attractive pizza … maybe it's just to precious looking for me to want to dig in
Elizabeth's Comments: It looks like a work of art…though I'm not sure if I want to eat it.

Miro's Comments: A clean fresh smell. Mostly I smell Arugula, which I like.
Elizabeth's Comments: All I smell is arugala. I'm not a fan. Also, the menu didn't mention arugala.

Miro's Comments: It wasn't super hot by the time I got to it, but that had more to do with the pit stop I had to make to soak my shirt after a cherry tomato geysered out at me when I cut into it too agressively.
Elizabeth's Comments: Usually in restaurant is cheating, but apparently it sat out back for a while.

Miro's Comments: Fresh Motzzerella. It has a milky and clean taste that I love, but dammit I want more salt.
Elizabeth's Comments: Homemade Mozzerella!

Miro's Comments: Our fault, we got a pie with no sauce.
Elizabeth's Comments: We messed up and got a sauceless pizza. The two tomotoes per slice looked lonely…and then they attacked Miro.

Miro's Comments: It's hard to judge this one against the pizzas that we usually eat. So perhaps I'm judging it overly harshly against high standards, but I wanted more flavor in it. That said, the chewy crispy balance was very good.
Elizabeth's Comments: Delicious! Chewy yet crunchy, but a tad too burnt in areas

Miro's Comments: I just wasn't impressed.
Elizabeth's Comments: They made the fatal Top Chef mistake - a serious lack of salt! This pizza was desperately seeking salt and there was none to be found - on the pie or on the table.

Overall Comments
Miro's Comments: I'm trying not to factor my tomato incident into my opinion. But I think it's creeping into my feelings regardless. To be clear, I blame no one but myself, I understand and ignored basic tomato physics and got punished for it.
Elizabeth's Comments: The waiter was on the ball, but super weird. The fries and carppacio were yummy too - though carppacio also needed salt.
