Marco's coal fired pizza

Upon my return to MCFP, the experience was pleasant but i do have one or two things. I ordered a specialty salad with fresh arugula and basil leaves, topped with roasted local colorado peaches and haystack goat cheese. What was supposed to be a balsamic glaze (also known as a reduction to many) ended up being mostly vinegar, which caught my friend brittany and I quite off guard, enough to clear up any stuffed sinuses.

I distinctly remember the crust being absolutely delicious, plenty of chewiness as well as crispiness, however the main part of the pie was a bit flimsy. I do not blame the pizza makers but the mushrooms we ordered as a topping. As i am sure you know, similar to spinach, mushrooms are mostly made of water, so as they cooked they released their liquids onto the dough. Despite the mushroom issue, the pizza and plenty of flavor and i will return for another soon enough sans mushrooms!

Plate score: 8

Smart tip: mon-fri $9 includes salad, margherita pizza and soda or ice tea! A steal!

    You are such a fair critic Ms. Ma.
