Re: The Wedge on Western
My wife and I ate here today at lunch with much anticipation. I must say, it didn't live up to the hype or my expectations. I was anticipating great things from the DFG's latest restaurant. The ambiance is nice but it is very loud even at lunch. Definitely not a good place if you want to have a business lunch or talk. We shared the Italian Stallion pizza because it sounded the best as well as the great reviews above. It came with the port wine sauce.
I thought the pizza was good, but not $15.00 good. It's comparable to a small pizza at most pizza shops as far as size. It had 6 small slices.
Taste was obviously better since they use high quality fresh ingredients. It definitely had a rustic taste (which I love). I guess you could say it's more true Italian style pizza. Toppings were very minimal and I couldn't taste anything special in the sauce. I did find it interesting the pizza was topped with fennel. An unusual twist but good. All in all, I'd say it's a decent pizza place better than any chain. I don't think it's worth the money for such small pizza's. When I pay $15 for a tiny pizza, I want to get full.
I was also disappointed at the fact they don't have a lunch menu. Really it's either a salad or a $15.00 pizza. They don't do sandwiches or pizza by the slice. Kind of pricey for lunch IMO. I prefer the quality, quantity, and price of Sauced in the Paseo over Wedge.
