Review of Bufad Pizza

What a great little find just north of City Hall!

What a great little find just north of City Hall!

We went for dinner on a Sunday evening and they were able to seat us right away. The waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. My guest and I viewed both the standard and specials menu and ended up getting the margherita pizza, the roasted beet salad, and the antipasti platter.

The pizza was crispy and flavorful and since it's cooked in the brick oven, you get bits of that charred dough with each bite! The pie was a good size for two people, but I guess it could be a personal pizza as well (I guess any pizza is if you try hard enough =P!)

The antipasti platter had a nice selection, with interesting mixes of finger foods including a carrot/yogurt salad, a cauliflower mixture (YUM), eggs, and of course a few assortments of cheese and compote! We had fun mixing and matching the options and also incorporating a few of the platter items into the beet salad.

The beets salad was the unexpected favorite of the night. Along with the beets, the salad had nice hints of citrus from the oranges and the vinaigrette. The addition of the ricotta cheese with the toasted almonds was a nice touch to help balance the flavors.

Pro tip: The place is BYOB (unfortunately no alcohol on site), but you're able to go next door to Prohibition Taproom and purchase beer if you prefer, and return to drink it with your meal.

Will be returning to check out more of the menu!
