It got two stars because \"Meh. I've experienced better.\" is an apt description of this place. I probably would have upped it to 2.5 if that were available, but that's it. \n\nSo why the low rating? \n\nStrike 1 - They don't take reservations. I could get over this for a place that's stellar, but I had a party of 8 and it's tough to walk into a small place with a crowd like that without one. And...they didn't mention when I called ahead about the reservation that coming early to get my name on the list wouldn't help because they won't put your name on the list unless half of the party is present.\n\nStrike 2 - My party of 8 was whittled down to 5 since 3 didn't want to deal with the no reservations thing. So they stuffed the five of us at a table for four. We were pretty cramped and chose not to order appetizers with our pizzas because there wouldn't have been room. The bar area was also cramped - you can't sit there without getting hit every 5 minutes by someone walking to the bathroom. \n\nStrike 3 - The first two strikes wouldn't have mattered as much if the food had been spectacular, but it wasn't. It was actually pretty bland overall. The complimentary \"breadsticks\" were more like crackers - no flavor or anything special about them. I then sampled three different pizzas - the sweet potato, the mushroom, and the prosciutto. The prosciutto was great, but the other two were lacking some punch. I dressed them up with the little bowl of red pepper flakes, but then they were just spicy. \n\nThe menu describes the pizzas (ranging from $12-$16) as \"for one\", which is a little off. It's definitely more than one person should eat, and not quite enough for two unless you order an app. I'd recommend sharing one and getting an app if you choose to try this place. \n\nThere were a few good things about this place. The service overall was decent, albeit a little slow for a pizza joint. There's plenty of free parking. The wine list included some good selections - 5 oz pours just so you have an idea.
