#24: Apizza Scholls

After a failed first attempt with eating at Pok Pok (the wait was too long without a reservation) we went to Apizza Scholls instead.


Since then, this pizza joint is a frequent follow up location for when our restaurant trying whims end in the same result (We recently tried Toro Bravo - 2 hour wait at 8:00PM... umm no thanks!).  


Being a Blind Onion loyalist, I was feeling skeptical going in.  I wasn't sure I could go in open minded.  Would Fred, the onion who represents Blind Onion, know we had cheated on him?!  


That said, Apizza Scholls is the best pizza of its kind.  The pizzas are completely different so I feel comfortable having two pizza loves =).  


In the three times we've been there over this past year, we've grown to have a few favorites - their Margherita and New York White Pie are tasty.  The pizza that makes Apizza Scholls worthy of love?  Apizza Amore - margherita plus hot capicollo (cured pork shoulder).  As Brent and his friend Mike would say, its "stupid good".



Cost: Not your average pizza.  Big pizza, big flavor, big prices.  Average cost of a pie is $19-$25.
Menu: No complaints.  You can make your own if you're really not finding anything that tickles your fancy.  
Food:  I would rate it a 5/5.   
Service:  Good service.  No major complaints.  The wait for food is long, but there is a good sized indoor waiting area.  They allow you to order beverages at the bar while you wait, which is nice.  The only unexpected surprise to look out for is that they close the doors as soon as they run out of dough.  As this is determined on a day-by-day basis, there really isn't any way of knowing if they're out unless you call ahead, and they can't promise you that they will still have some by the time you arrive.  The earlier in the evening you go, the less you have to worry about this.
