Reviews
Friendly staff. Prompt service.
Crust is *perfect* .. chewy and crispy. Sauce is zesty, flavorful and just the right amount. Toppings are fresh. Slices are large. Great value for your money.
Definitely stop in for a quick and delicious bite.
Tonight I went for pizza at Focaccia on 14th Ave. It wasn’t my first choice, but it was suggested to my mother, and she really wanted to try it.
First Impressions
Walking in, the first thing I noticed was a case of slices on display. They looked old and unappealing, which wasn’t a great start. I joined my mom and my son, who were already seated, and we started reviewing the menu. We decided on stuffed meatballs and a Margherita pizza.
That’s when I noticed something odd—the prices on the wall behind the counter were $1 higher than the printed menu. When I asked the waitress which was correct, she admitted she was new and wasn’t sure.
The Food
We ordered the stuffed meatballs, which were described as homemade. I watched as the server pulled them from a crockpot and then opened what sounded like a container. Sure enough, when they arrived, it was clear these weren’t truly homemade. They were likely frozen meatballs, cooked all day in the crockpot, then stuffed with unseasoned ricotta and mozzarella, topped with cheese that hadn’t even melted. I immediately sent them back.
The second attempt came out hot, but they were still just “okay.” Honestly, I’m not convinced they were homemade.
The pizza, however, was much better. It looked great—crispy crust, not greasy, flavorful sauce, and made with Grande cheese. The restaurant even sent over garlic knots to make up for the meatball issue. The knots were fine, nothing special.
The Check Surprise
When the bill came, I noticed the total seemed high. The posted menu prices were:
Pizza: $19.95
Meatballs: $9.95
The wall menu behind the counter listed:
Pizza: $20.95
Meatballs: $10.95
But the receipt read:
Pizza: $21.85
Meatballs: $11.45
We questioned the charges, but the waitress explained the owner had stepped out for a delivery. She apologized and took our number. A little later, while we were next door getting ice cream, the owner actually tracked us down. He apologized, tried to explain the pricing discrepancies, and offered us free dessert (which we declined).
Final Thoughts
Pizza: Good, but not the best in town.
Meatballs: Major disappointment.
Garlic knots: Just okay.
Staff: Very nice and apologetic.
Pricing: Big turnoff. Menu, wall, online, and receipt all had different prices.
If one pizza and one app added up this way, I can only imagine what happens if you order several.
Recommendation: Not worth it, but if you do try it, make sure to check your receipt carefully.
