Follow the Yellow Brick Road Pizza

On Good Friday, after going to a Good Friday service, Mel and I stopped by Brick Road Pizza in the East Town area on Wealthy. We had been there together once before, sometime last year. I forgot to write about it then. I am not making the same mistake twice. Its a fairly nice sized place that tends to cater slightly toward the hipster crowd that frequents the area. But by no means does that make it inaccessible to everyone.

We started with some breadsticks. They were pretty good, with butter and parmasean on top. They were made fresh and the bread was pretty good. I would put them in between Uccello's and the Reservoir's bread sticks in terms of size and butteriness. They were reasonably priced too for the portion. A nice start to our late lunch.

We decided to make our own pizza, even though they have a ton of different pizzas catering to all people, from vegetarians to the carnivores and everything in between. We decided on splitting a 12" pizza topped with bacon, caramelized onion, and roasted garlic. The crust was done really well. It was nice and crispy on the bottom and wasn't soggy in the middle. The cheese was melted nicely and was of a good quality, as it had a nice stringiness to it when the slices were pulled apart. The bacon was crispy and went well with the sweet caramelized onions and roasted garlic. It was a nice pizza and well deserved of the reputation Brick Road Pizza has.
