I've been wanting to go there for a few years and finally got the chance last night with my son and his girfriend. Here goes.....
The shop is in a small strip that is anchored by a Bonefish Grille so it's a fairly decent locale. The interior is very 1985 with yellow pine everywhere. It's also fairly small with maybe 8 tables in the whole place. We had a middle aged, very Italian looking woman, seat us.
Drinks are disappointing as they didn't serve us fountain drinks - they were all 12 oz. soda cans. They had Diet 7up though which is a huge bonus. We came for pizza and pizza is what we ordered. We go a Pepperoni and a Hawaiian...both larges at 15".
If we were adding things up correctly we figured that most of the people in the kitchen were born and bred Italians from the motherland - that's always a good sign. One older gent was standing on a wooden box about 2' x 4' about 6" tall because he vertically challenged. We saw an old oven that looked like something out of a Dickens novel. This thing had obviously seen many a pie inside it's bowels.
The pizza took a little longer than it should but it finally came to our table still steaming away. The eye test gave both pies hi marks with thick layered cheese and a decent amount of toppings with those great oven baked colors and textures.
On inspection, I was a bit skeptical of the crust because it was thickesemi fake stuff (r than Tommy's and had those crusty microbubbles that look like they were created from soda rather than yeast. The first bite confirmed my suspicions as I was not crazy about the crust. The sauce was excellent but not distinctive. The cheese was awesome as it was thick and stringy and 100% natural milk cheese. None of that fake stuff with fillers (you hear me Marco's?!).
I'm a Tommy's fan. A big Tommy's fan....with Adriatico's a very close second. Enrico's is good stuff but not up there with those two. My 15 boy and his girlfriend both loved the crust more than I and my son had it up neck and neck with Tommy's.
