So, today was Pepperoni Pizzeria cum L'estaminet - some sort of a Belgian or French bar / tabac. L'estaminet has a bar, full of German, Belgian beers etc, and a foosball table. Going through the drinks list can be quite a headache because of the extensive selection! Good luck choosing....
Pepperoni's is just a little pizzeria next to it that serves the standard starters, pastas and pizzas. Both outlets are linked by a common outdoor seating area.
One fascinating sight - a 21 inch pizza (family size) costing $44 - it was huge!!
I wasn't too wowed by Pepperoni. I personally prefer Spizza for pizza - more variety, innovative and tastier. For example, Elisa - delicious pizza of pesto, pine nuts and olives....which I haven't seen anywhere else -(maybe yet?).
Point to note though, Spizza doesn't offer much pasta choices - or as mucn as pepperoni. Having said that, I still think there are better Italian restaurants to go to like Cantina or Pete's Place if you are going to be paying that amount. This is my opinion. My 12 inch pizza cost me $17.50 +$2.50 (for additional olives).
Yan feels differently about it though. She enjoyed her pizza (pepperoni) tremendously and prefered it to Spizza. Today was her 2nd time at the pizzeria. Grace and Gail also enjoyed their pastas. So how did we resolve this fundamental difference?
We had a catfight. We pulled each other's hair out and scratched each other's faces and banged each other's faces on the table until we each declared that the other pizza place was better than our stated preferences.
:-))
I will probably try the pasta the next time I am there. And I suppose Pepperoni Pizzeria has it's merits if you want casual dining consisting of beer, pizza and foosball.
From left to right : Suprema (chicken-garlic sausage, olives, onions, tomato sauce, mozarella sauce), Pepperoni (onions and pepperoni), Arrabiata (spicy tomato sauce) and forgot!!
Post dinner drinks took us to Ice Cold Beer where I ran into Glen and company! The last I saw Glen was on his wedding day last year December and it was nice to see him again. I had one Hoegaarden (courtesy of Glen) and many cheeky conversations with Juan (my little boy) and others. You can also see the effect of the cattfight on Yan here.
