No. I went here to try the pizza specifically, and their Capri style is listed as a signature item, so I ordered it. I got a completely dry circle of yeast brittle with some rubber mozz, tomato slices, and a basil garnish. No sauce. Should I have been impressed as the menu implicated? Am I seriously to consider this a quality option to remember them by? Either the dough recipe is terrible or the oven they use doesn't work with it. And something needs adjusting in regards to a sauce or the quality of toppings. I love the culture of our Little Italy, but this restaurant has, as others in the area, reinforced my perception that it's more miss than hit for food.
