i experienced adequate if bizarre service (waitron seemed puzzled with our every request). the pizza crust, i agree with geoff alex cohen, was soggy,
-just as it is at sats- ("well, we use fresh vegetables and, you know, fresh has more moisture"). pizza toppings were pretty delish and they know to put more than one smoked oyster per slice.

friend of mine went the next week, waited an hour an a half for her pizza, for which she then was told she didn't have to pay (except time!). she agreed the pizza was good.

passable wines served in ten ounce tumblers. fairly decent ceasar salad.

miserable decor, bad spacing, framed ads onna wall. clientele was mostly sorority girls with daddys' credit cards. loud, shrill.

as this seems to be the widest ingredient-variety pizzaria in durham, i'll probably go back. the selection list at lilly's, the loop, and boulevard tavern are just not up to <sniff> snuff. (although the salads at the loop are meals and lilly's is just tres ambiance.) but i wish somebody around here knew how to do a crispy crust. if only wolfman's from charlotte would open up here.

yes, i said oysters,
