I m baffled by the many 5 stars awarded this restauran, because our group of 4 unanimously declared it some of worst food we ve eaten in a long time. From pizza to lasagna, everything was grossly oversalted to the point of being inedible How go you oversalted lasagna, for cramminy sake?) Granted, cheese can be salty, but the food here tasted like it had been soaked in the Dead Sea. Which it may well have been, considering the soggy, limp crust underlying the toppings.
First sign of trouble came when the pizza arrived unsliced. That, combined with menu descriptions in Italian spoke of affectation, and I m always wary of pretentious, affectatious restaurants, be they genuine five star establishments or pizza joints.
If you somehow can get past the salt content - we couldn t, and left our entrees unfinished, you ll discover skimpy toppings and a truly mediocre tomato sauce, all on the aforementioned flabby crust. Ugh.

On the plus side, wonderful, cheerful and attentive service and a very nice atmosphere. We sat at a communal table and struck up a conversation with a family of 5 from California (who were as unimpressed with the fare as we were) and that saved a terrible meal from being an extremely unpleasant experience. Of course, had we encountered unpleasant dining neighbors ....

A lot of these reviews claim that this is the best pizza in Boulder . If accurate, I pity Boulder residents with a craving for good pizza.

So: grossly oversalted, a pathetic excuse for crust, overpriced for what is gloriously promised and what appears at the table.
