A PIZZA BAR IS BORN!!! Open for lunch & dinner in Seaside

[chefed]

Last night I noticed a stack of new pagers for those who have to wait. The place was full but no waiting, unless maybe you have a lot of people. There certainly is plenty to do - you might be able to wait on the beach but I'm not sure of the range.

There has been no waiting so far for the long tables outside, regular tables inside and two bars. With one chef tossing the dough, one putting on just the right combination of toppings and another manning the wood burning pizza oven, the pizzas come out very quickly. We do encourage you to linger over your meal and wine Italian style. We cannot wait to get the back deck open.

I'll give you an update on the pager testing soon. We know they work in Cinderella Circle and will check the beach and the shops across the street.

We've eaten at the Pizza Bar twice now. Once in the small outbuilding and once on the beachside patio. I really liked the patio, but inside was nice too -- and not as windy. I'd be happy sitting at either spot again.

Each visit we tried something different. Everything was excellent! The calamari was crisp and tender, and the veggies on the pizzas tasted fresh and needed nothing but some heat and some love. You could tell all of the ingredients were high quality. The only appetizer we didn't LOVE was the eggplant. It was just kind of strange with the raisins, but that might be our redneck genes showing. I also wish the beer was cheaper and that there were more varieties. Hint hint...

We stopped in at the kitchen area to watch the pizzas being made. They were really working it. I was getting tense just watching them work the pizzas on the paddle! I can't imagine having to turn out the pizzas perfectly done -- and all of ours were perfectly done -- in 90 seconds. The difference between 80 seconds and 100 must be cruicial!

All in all we had an excellent experience both times, and I'm positive we'll be visiting again soon.

Hubby said he had one of the best meals ever on Highway 30A tonight at Pizza Bar. Grouper appetizer and fennel-sausage pizza. He was raving about it.

I know where I'm dining on Saturday night -- Pizza Bar. I'd be at the beach now, but I'm required to (and want to) attend graduation ceremonies on Saturday AM.

Question: Will Shirley Franklin wear a silk corsage on her doctoral robe (she's getting an honorary doctorate)? OMC, I hope that she has enough class not to be that tacky.

I love their Caprese - only Dave and Amore serve it right! So nice to order "as is" off the menu and get a real Italian style caprese.

Ditto. Cheese, Tomatoes, and Basil are three of my middle names.:funn:

We went for our second time (total not in a day as some sowallers have) and were greeted by cheery, happy, and helpful servers. We were immediately sat and our order was in for the Caprese Salad and Tuna appetizer. The tuna is great, even if you don't normally do sushi, try it. Both were wonderful and our pizza was right out. We enjoyed both and took left overs for lunch tomorrow. What followed was the best Tiramisu I've ever had.

My only problem is that there is nothing to complain about. Not even a burned out light bulb. Great job Dave and everybody there.

I have heard RAVES about Pizza Bar and I can not believe that I have not had a chance to experience this heaven!
One of the bad things about being a chef...you have no time to experience other restaurants. This is my MAIN goal for my next day off! GO TO PIZZA BAR!
