Reviews
Overall: 3.5 Stars (Rounded to 4 for the team)
I have to start with a disclaimer: my heart belongs to Neapolitan pizza. That specific airy, fluffy dough is what childhood memories are made of for me. I am well aware Taverna Rossa does not claim to be a Neapolitan spot, but that is the benchmark I use for a 5 star experience.
The pizza here is a standard American thin crust. It is crispy, but it lacks that perfect combination of airiness and crunch that makes a dough truly memorable. I have had similar goat cheese and fig pizzas at other non-Neapolitan spots across the country that were significantly better than this one.
My pizza arrived almost at room temperature, but I will take the hit for that one. I chose to sit at the bar and I know those bartenders are running a marathon back there. Having worked behind a bar myself during my college years, I have nothing but respect for the hustle. The service was actually great and the staff were very nice.
At the end of the day, it is a good pizza with fancy ingredients, but the soul of the dough just was not there for me. 4 stars for the service, 3 stars for the pizza.
• A nice plentiful bowl of salad (not pictured) – Farmhouse Salad and added feta
• Individual-sized pizza— Enough for leftovers and the crust is thin and crispy— Luscher Supreme and added fresh jalapeños. It’s bigger than the picture appears.
**********************
• Blueberry Lemon Martini was delicious and not too sweet (not pictured)
• Buffalo Shrimp- too soggy to me- the shrimp was plump and Buffalo flavor was good— they’ve should’ve just drizzled it with the Buffalo and ranch instead.
Service was friendly— could be a tad quicker.
Definitely would go back.
Oh and they had live music.
It is hotter than hell today. I got lucky, A parking spot right up front. know what I want before we even get seated. On the sandwich board out front, a special, “Green Chili Smoked Brisket Pizza.” How Texas is that? That may not meet the proper definition of a pizza. I ain’t passing that up.
Inside busy. A few minutes to wait and we were seated in the bar area. We started the meal with a big Warm Taverna Pretzel, while our Pink Piggy and Green Chili Smoked Brisket pizzas took a ride through the oven. That pretzel is good. Spicey mustard perfect. Queso meh, pass on that next time.
A little wait time and the pizzas arrived. Check the pictures. My wife and daughter loved the Pink Piggy. I couldn’t adapt to the Rosemary Honey Butter. Sweet on pizza just doesn’t seem right. The Green Chili Smoked Brisket Pizza met my expectations. An unusual smokey spicey Texas pizza oddity. I liked it!
The service was a little slow but adequate. The bar tender was also our server. He was loaded up keeping the beer flowing.
