This was our first visit, though it has been on my list
for a while. Like most other places, it was quiet on a Sunday night,
though other customers came and went for both takeout and dine-in--and
the football game was showing on a TV in one corner. Our friend Julie came out
from Boulder to join us. She and I tried the Upslope kolsch, which was poured
from cans into mason jar glasses. I thought it was good, but it was a bit on
the bitter side for Julie.
The three of us
shared a large Caesar salad, which we all thought was delicious--very good
dressing and nice crisp romaine. We also shared a large Primo pizza, which the
menu says is the most popular pizza. I don't like green peppers,
but the other two do, so we got them on just half of the pizza and added black
olives to the whole thing. We all thought this was a very good pizza, and we had plenty of leftovers even with three of us tackling it. The crust
was very crisp, and the ingredients tasted fresh and delicious. G said the
green peppers were especially good, and there certainly were a lot of them, but
I cannot contribute my opinion, as I steered clear of them. The sausage and
pepperoni were excellent, as was the mozzarella. The pizza came to the table
very hot, but we suffered only minor burns when trying to eat it too quickly. ;)
We tried a couple of cannolis for dessert. We decided we are not real cannoli fans, as the sweetened cheese filling was a bit much for us, and I
can't tell you how they compare to cannolis from other places. They were
drizzled with chocolate and had a very crisp pastry shell.
We'll definitely be
back to try other pizza varieties! There was also an intriguing list of
appetizers, sandwiches, and pastas that we did not sample. Note that Martino's
offers gluten-free pizzas and other GF items; has lunch specials
Tuesday-Saturday; and has takeout special prices for 14" cheese pizzas M,
T, and W after 5 p.m.
