Pier 49 Pizza

Good crust & service, bad garlic bread

Good service; people were upbeat and friendly, carry out order was warm & on time. Reviewed the order with us to make sure it's what we wanted.

The pizza smelled excellent

Pizza crust was excellent

Pizza wasn't greasy

"Lombard street" BBQ Chicken was good. Although is was not quite as good as the "California Pizza Kitchen" rendition, it's easily better than any other BBQ Chicken pizza I've tried -- and a whole lot better value than California Pizza Kitchen!

Tomato sauce had a little too much oregano, which made it taste a bit like "cheap bowling alley" sauce.

I thought the cheese pizza could use a little more cheese

Garlic bread was very very BAD; extremely salty, tasted "fake" somehow, like there wasn't real butter or olive oil, but rather tasted like it was soaked in something with a name like "EZ Garlic Spread."

Overall good, but with high prices.

• Pros: Good service, Good Crust
• Cons: High Prices, Bad Garlic Bread

Wish I had gone sooner

I passed by the pace on University hundreds of times and finally decided to try it out and it was really good. I am a big pizza fan and usually won't order it becuase it's all just terrible but this place makes really good pizza. Bursting with authentic flavors and tantilizing combos!

• Pros: great great pizza
• Cons: slower service, setting a little cold
