Pizza Rating:
Nearby Focaccino opened in the fall, but they just left a delivery menu on our doorstep this week, so tonight was the first time we tried it. Despite some relatively poor reviews on other local blogs (see eating for brooklyn and the Clinton Hill Blog*), we were excited to order in, especially because of their almost exclusively vegetarian menu (they seem to have a thing for eggplant). To be brief, we were disappointed. The delivery was pretty quick, but when we got the pizza it was completely cold (granted, it is 24° outside and it came by bicycle). The crust was way too thin (and I like thin!) and had flecks of rosemary in it, which I didn't like. The sauce was a little sweet and a little spicy, in a kind of Prego-brand, mass-produced way. We're holding out for a in-house visit though, because from the street the place itself has some cool decor, and espresso too. Maybe a fresh, hot slice would improve Focaccino's Slices of the City rating?
Bruno smells something tasty!
AJ was disappointed before his first bite as the pizza flopped and dripped when he tried to fold it. Plates necessary.
* The pizza in her pictures seems to have a much thicker crust. Maybe she got the 10" pie?
