Glad I had a coupon!
I had a coupon from a website I am a member of so my son and I decided to try out this place. First of all… ITS TINY! This place hold maybe 20 people inside and another 8 outside. I think it used to be a KFC like 10 years ago if I remember correctly. It was so hot inside and it’s fall so it was chilly outside, but we opted to sit outside because it was too crowded. The food was ok, nothing special. I was a little upset that they served my son his pasta 15 minutes before I got my pizza… The service was fast otherwise and 15 minutes isn’t very long to wait for a pizza… they also came to check on us a couple of times even though we were the only people sitting outside which was nice. But overall, I am glad that I only paid $18 instead of $43… it wasn’t really worth that. Oh and our Tiramisu was still slightly frozen.
Dishes I tried:
Fettucini Alfredo w/ Chicken
Not much better than a microwave pasta. I was happy that it wasn’t too thick though. It was a pretty good sized plate of food and comes with 4 garlic knots and a small side salad.
South Pas Special - large
Large Pizza with olive oil, spinach, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and some other cheese – can’t remember. There was way too much ricotta on it… made it a bit sweet… we tried to save it with more Parmesan and pepper flakes, but I brought it home so I could save it with some other stuff.
Tiramisu
It was flavorful but it was almost frozen.
