About Anna’s Brick Oven Pizza-Pasta
This place sees to be a staple and tradition around the area, very busy, so I didn't want to wait for a table. Combo Pizza (17.99): The pizza isnt' really a brick oven taste and the dough is very plain. The toppings volume wasnt a great balance and there was little meat. The pizza dough is extremely plain and tasted like store bought pizza or just a standard oven baked pizza. No crisp taste to it, the end crust ended up hard like a rock within minutes of eating it fresh? No flavor to the crust, light on the sauce. It didn't taste anything like a true brick oven pizza compared to places like Frank Pepe's or Fireworks Pizza if you know them. Very unsatisfied was it. Anna's Sampler (13.99): Fried food is supposed to be simple. This didn't taste great either. Its suppose to have fried zucchini, fried tenders, and fried mozzarella. The quantity balance was bad like they were rushing, the sizes were all over like they just put their hand in a bag and pulled out a fist full of pieces, whether its hand made or wholesale bought, I don't care. I had gaint tender pieces (4) that was hard like a rock and breaded more than it needed to be. Zucchini (15) places were all size from crumbs to palm size, good thougg, but batter is thick. Then mozzarella stick (3) were good but only had few pieces. I thought this was supposed to be a proper sampler and sorted nicely, but they just dumped it all in a box and gave it to me. Overall, too thick on batter, no seasoning or taste, just fried food. Overall quality is from a cheap local pizza store you find at strip malls for $10, is the only way I can compare them. Not a place you want to come back to if you want quality pizza, Ill stick to my Mellow Mushroom in the local area.
Went here a for a group meeting. Everything was really good. Our server was very pleasant. Had a nice time. We had pizza and a Philly cheesesteak steak, and some friend zucchini. If we were out and about in the area I would go back but I wouldn’t necessarily make a special trip just to go there. We did end up sitting in the bar area bc the dining room is a little compact.
I'd never been in here before, and now I am generally disappointed it took me this long to get in here. I feel I've been missing out. I had the manicotti and it was amazing. I can't stop thinking about it. It seriously might have been the best I've ever had. Our waitress was a genuine delight. I'm horrible with names, but I think her name was Bella. On the way out, we met the owner, Sal. He was so down to earth and cared about every aspect of the evening. It was just perfect, all around.
My party and I ordered the Chicken Parmesan, Spinach Ravioli with Gorgonzola cream sauce and the Vegetable Lasagna. My ravioli was out of this world. I would definitely recommend that dish. The sauce was rich and the sun-dried tomatoes set it off. It was amazing. The Vegetable Lasagna and Chicken Parmesan were good. Crispy onion rings and cheesy garlic bread were really good. Fresh marinara sauce was great with the bread. We highly recommend this place.
Very disappointed. The food was so greasy and bland. Calamari was soggy. Shrimp Pesto was tasteless. Hawaiian pizza was okay.
