Taorminas Pizza & Pasta

Awesome hidden gem right down the road from Costco. Instead of getting a $1.50 hot dog and soda combo from the mega giant retailer's food court, head down the road to experience a fantastic Italian restaurant with great food and service. When you first walk in it looks like you're at a higher end pizza shop until the curtain is pulled back to unveil a beautiful dining area. One of the best parts was the complimentary fresh baked bread and roasted red peppers and onions for the table. Yum!!! Prices are a little high but you get what you pay for with large portions which can easily feed 1- 2 people. It's also byob.

I wanted to leave a cautionary review of a pizza I ordered last night. I'll preface this review by saying I've never, ever had a bad experience at Taormina's and I'm sure this was a fluke, but something to be aware of. I ordered a large buffalo chicken pizza last night and it tasted fine, but I felt there was waaay too much cheese on it. Some might consider this a plus, but the grease was substantial. On my second slice, I noticed that some of the chicken on the pizza had arteries still in the muscle, which made me question the quality of the chicken (perhaps it is repurposed from other dishes at the restaurant, or just overall low quality meat?). This made me lose my appetite for the evening, but this morning I gave the leftovers a second chance. On my first slice this morning, I bit into a large (about one inch long) piece of chicken bone still in the meat. This actually hurt a bit because I wasn't expecting any bone on my pizza. I lost my appetite for the second time and will be discarding the remaining half of the pizza. I have had many meals and pizzas here and I will likely order plain pizzas in the future, as they have always been very good. I will avoid any toppings from here on in, though. Would recommend the pasta dishes and sandwiches instead!
