Ok I am updating my review as I risked the pizza after a disappointing experience of the calzones. I will paste in the old review at the bottom because it said "Update Review" and I don't see the old content and it should still live as part of the experience.
I am switching this to 4 stars now that I have experienced the pizza. I love thin crusts. Love. Crunch crunch crunch without all the guilt of heavy bread and overwhelming amount of cheese. This was a good one for me. Wednesday is 2 for 1 so I got my standard back up Pepperoni and also the artichoke heart with pesto. Both great pizzas. The crunch. The flavor. The freshness. And still polite service staff.
----old review----
It's the quest to find something that resembles real pizza in Mexico City. Years ago pizza was some sort of bread, tomato ketchup sauce, salchica (hot dog), and perhaps pineapple. Yeah it's as bad as it sounds. Now there is an abundant selection of pizza joints but of varying qualities. This one happens to be down the street from where I currently live and it has taken me 5 months to get in there due to my disdain for purchasing another bad pizza.
Today I thought it might be best to enter with something cheaper and smaller to get a sense of the tastes. I ordered a calzone. Ok let's be clear here that a calzone is NOT an empanada. That is what I got. A larger version of an empanada. No sauce. Barely cheese. Carne res in this case should be labeled carne molida. It was to have spinach and I asked for extra spinach. When I got it home I touched the puffed up calzone and it collapsed to about 5% of the total volume. There was very little cheese, virtually no spinach, NO SAUCE, and the despite not being listed on the menu, clearly had chili as my lips are still burning.
It is not a calazone. It's an empanada. Frustrating end to my lunch for sure. I am hesitant to venture further but I kind of want to still as it is so close and the pizzas I have seen on the tables look like a great thin crust. The flavor was good but not satisfying as a meal in any sense of the word since I was expecting marinara, no picante, and at least a cheesy pulling effect as I bit into it. Qué pena. read more
