text: This dining experience was lousy(company excluded), and a reminder to me that I should always trust my sushi instincts.  If Shady Grove is the best that  Walnut Street has to offer as far as drinking and dining, then it's no wonder that Shadyside needs a boost of steroids.  Perhaps, Barry shouldn't have been so quick to leave the Burgh or he should have left some of his good stuff behind.  My friend and I decided to order some of their artisan pizzas, and the Margharita and the Pesto were our choices.  The  honey wheat dough tasted like it came directly from the nearest Taco Bell caramel apple empenada assembly line.  The mutilated tomato bits strewn across each of the pizzas also must have come from a Taco Bell assembly line. Most of the items that should have been on the pizza were MIA.  When I asked our server about it, her expression was as empty as the street outside, which i thought would be jam packed with shoppers considering it was the Sidewalk Sale Event.
