Pizza #9 Pies and Pints

Yesterday afternoon Chuck and I decided to try out the cheese pizza at Pies and Pints in Westerville.  We impulsively called Marsha and she met us there. 

I was distracted by taking a picture of the door and greeting Marsha and failed to notice that Chuck lay spread eagle on the steps after a fall walking in.  So we learned how friendly the staff is here and a young woman immediately came to help and seemed not to notice when Chuck was yelling about falling on the &*^%$# stairs.  The good news is that he was not hurt and the pants that were ripped I really did not like, so all was well.  Here are the offending steps

 The restaurant is very modern and has an "industrial warehouse factory style.  Wood floors and tables.  We sat in a booth.  It was comfortable but not warm.  The music in the background was not too loud and what I call "techno" rock with a strong pulsing bass line. We were there at 3:30 in the afternoon - I bet it gets really noisy in the evening.

The first thing I did when we sat down was order a beer.  There was a three page beer menu and the waitress guided me to find a delicious wheat beer.  That was the best part of the meal for me. And this place is known for its craft beers.  I ordered a white pizza.  When we found out it was happy hour and appetizers were reduced in price, Chuck got wings and Marsha got Cheesy bread with tomato sauce.

 We all liked the pizza to a point.  It had a good crust, thin and flavorful.  The pizza itself had an "asiago" taste and was garlicky.  All of which is good in my book.  However by the second piece, I found I was bored with it.  It was good but lacked something - some taste that made me want to keep eating it. 

Chuck got his wings which came with a gorgonzola sauce that he did not like but I loved.  I found dipping the pizza in it gave it a better flavor (let's not even think about the calories here!)  The wings, by the way, were not good.  We all liked Marsha's cheesy bread but thought the tomato sauce was only so-so.

So in conclusion with Pies and Pints - I would definitely recommend the Pints and pick a different Pie than the "White" one.
