The best part about moving into a new neighborhood is all of the exploration that comes with it. Where do I go to drop off my laundry? what drug stores are open past 10? and most importantly where can i get a good meal.
Gonzo answers the good meal question in so many ways: 1) that it is less then 20 paces from my doorstep 2) that there is an unassuming outdoor area where you can get an "everybody knows your name feeling" 3) the pizza's are not only good but they are economical-- on Mondays you can get two for the price of one.
Because Gonzo is very service-oriented, they allowed us to split two pizzas in half thereby creating four different pizza tasting options--a piz piz platter if you will.
We got the sopressato, the sausage, the mushroom and the shrimp. While the textures of all of them were good (the dough tasted a lot like parathea) the flavor was lacking in the shrimp iteration. That puppy need more spice. the other 3 pies though were delish. if i were to rank in order of my favorites i would go with: sausage, mushroom, soppressata and then shrimp. WE also got a praline cookie dessert which was good but not earth shattering. when i go back i have my eyes set on the dessert pizza which is smeared with nutella and whipped cream--all ingredients i find helpful to lose weight
I have to admit, I may begin trying to convince my friends to take this a regular dinner spot. This will be like small town. convenience, pizza and dessert pizzas oh my!
