The pizza’s base was a red sauce topped with a copious amount of mozzarella cheese. The steak was cut into strips, and the baby red potatoes were sliced thin. Sour cream was served alongside. The steak and potato elements of the pizza were overwhelmed with the cheese and sauce. The steak was lean, though somewhat bland, and the potatoes were crunchy. In my opinion, this pizza has a lot of potential. Instead of a red sauce base, something more complementary to the steak could be used, maybe a sauce that combines steak sauce in it. Also, instead of sliced potatoes, I would use diced, roasted potatoes for more flavor and better texture.
Menu highlights beyond what I tried: Wings are available in both regular and boneless versions. Tater tots come plain, Cajun or pizza style. A Greek salad and Cobb salad are among the salad options. Pastas include a Frikin’ Chicken entree made with grilled chicken and roasted broccoli with penne pasta in a basil pesto cream sauce, and a “Cajunator” dish made with alligator sausage, grilled chicken breast (or spicy Italian sausage) tossed in spicy Cajun chipotle cream sauce with penne pasta. Also on the menu are exclusive sandwiches, such as the buffalo bacon chicken, made with buffalo chicken breast, bacon and provolone and blue cheese, and the Frikin’ Chicken breast, made with grilled or crispy chicken, Roma tomatoes, lettuce, red onions, pickles, Parmesan cheese and basil pesto mayonnaise. The garden noodle pasta made with spinach, black olives, mushrooms, red onions, zucchini and Roma tomatoes sounded good. Pizza is sold by the slice (limited to pizzas of the day) or you may have any of the original, specialty, veggie and meat pizzas made to order. The veggie baby pizza made with spinach, red bell peppers, onions, tomatoes and feta cheese atop a creamy Alfredo base sound delicious, as did the yucateco garlic noodle pizza, which combines Mexican-roasted chicken, sun-dried tomatoes and feta cheese on a bed of garlic noodles. Thirty beers are available on tap in addition to bottled. Cider and wine and fountain drinks are also served.
Atmosphere: The strip mall location occupies a corner unit which affords an ample amount of outdoor seating — perfect if you want to bring your canine family member. Within, the walls are painted a colorful palette of muted green, orange and blue. High and low tables and booths provide seating, and large-screen TVs are tuned to various programs offering entertainment. Orders are placed at the counter and delivered to tables and fountain drinks are help-yourself style.
Other observations: The waitstaff was friendly and attentive. The vibe was relaxed and neighborly. The food was a mixed experience with some room for improvement. Trivia night is 6 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays.
