Five dollar pizza!

Don't let the price tag fool you. It's a five dollar pizza folks. Still, you get what you pay for, and at the newly renovated Temperance Hotel (formerly known as the Frost Bites) the free admission is worthwhile enough to get a look at what they've done to the place. I'll say nothing more other than the famous alcoholic slushies have been replaced with, well.. something else entirely.

But back to the pizzas, and I'll have to say, we did get a five dollar pizza each. Not that that's a bad thing mind you, I just wouldn't pay anything more for what was in front of me, personally. Although they did look pretty nice.

We ordered 2 pizzas:
  • Virginia ham, bacon, tomato & bbq sauce
  • Moroccan beef, buffalo mozzarella & basil
The first thing that went right was that our pizzas came out when we were no less than halfway through our first round of $5 glasses of Stella. Very good. But then something went wrong.. instead of getting a Moroccan beef pizza, we received something with salami and olives on it. My mate was not happy. So he had to rectify the situation. Then we sat and ate the one 'correct' pizza..

To be honest, we both agreed that the squirt of bbq sauce over the top doesn't quite work, I think the tanginess and sweetness of the bbq is a bit too overpowering for this pizza and should not be necessary. Still, we happily ate it.

When the Moroccan beef finally arrived, and we got stuck into it, we were both quite surprised at how good it actually was. Very nice mix of subtle exotic flavours, and the buffalo mozzarella has to be tried at least once by any true pizza lover. Give it a go and you will like it I swear, just don't go on any other night because you will pay $17 or so for the thing, which is not cool. So not cool, for what this 'pizza' is. I'm hoping that the 'usual' pizza is a lot bigger and/or with more of the toppings.. I dunno maybe on a real pizza base or something?

But still.. just go there, try their pizzas, but only on a certain day. Hmmm.. Which day???...

Better check eat4cheap!

Cheers!
