Was talking to Aaron today and he felt it was pretty necessary to move to reservations. He felt bad for everyone waiting for a table. And I appreciate it!
Bar pie- I think it’s an homage to cpk bbq chicken pizza was ok I probably should’ve gone for just the regular pepperoni + spicy. Flavors were pretty muted with a predominant bbq sauce that kind of engulfed the pizza. Crust was not as good as rances.
Squares vodka w sausage and gochujang Sicilian. I gave my vodka square to a friend they said it was “mid” and I didn’t love the gochu square. The Korean gochu flavor did not pair well and was distracting. I should’ve gotten cake but I had dinner plans with ppl.
Every time I’ve been to qspc I’ve loved it, this time it was just ok. Will be back, maybe it was just a one off miss.
square slices. liked the tomato or red top the best. bbq chicken wasn’t bad but not my favorite - but to be fair, i’m not sure when i’ve loved a bbq chicken pizza.
meatballs
slab pie with passionfruit. would’ve loved a pineapple and/or coconut sorbet on the side.
i passed on the bar pie but it had guanciale - in retrospect, that sounded pretty good.
the sicilian, mike’s baked onion and ricotta cheesecake were delightful.
