Pizza Pi
|
| | | My Field Roast Dip Nightmare Gone Bad. | |
|
| In Seattle to drop off an animal at Brie's. | |
|
|
| | | We're expecting snow. Oh joy. Nov 4th. Hopefully a good ski year here. | |
|
|
|
| | | Went to a place called Pizza Pi because it was on my list and it was intriguing to me that a pizza place had a French dip. I would soon be very disappointed. | |
|
|
|
| | | I always wanted to write "gangster" but never really learned. How do the gangsters train themselves to write in such cool, embellished fonts when they are probably otherwise of limited talent? | |
|
|
|
| | | So I go into this place and the lady asks if I need a menu and to sit anywhere. It's pretty empty in there and poorly decorated. | |
|
|
|
| | | Sure enough, there's a sandwiches page in the menu and they have a French dip. But it's a field roast French dip. I had previously had an excellent vegetarian French dip from Georgetown Liquor Company so was generally hopeful that this place would do something nice, given they were not playing with a full deck. (Nope) | |
|
|
|
| | | The order counter. Uninspiring. | |
|
|
|
| | | Two young workers on a Saturday. 7 people may have showed up to the place while I waited and ate. | |
|
|
|
| | | Here's my table, all marked up. Just kind of ugly. I had a lot of "vegan thoughts" while there as I listened to the hipster indy music and wondered and hoped if they'd be able to make a good French dip. They had a hot oven, I was hopeful. | |
|
|
|
| | | Savory Field Roast slices, grilled onions and cheese (they don't say what kind but it was some flavorless mozarella like substance, I would come to find) on an oven toasted hoagy roll - Served with our house made au jus. Seems like they had thought it through to a degree and one review on Foursquare had recommended it. That's why I was there. And I was in the neighborhood because I was returning our friend's cat to her, which my wife and I had been watching. | |
|
|
|
| | | When I ordered, the fellow suggested the Caesar salad. It was the star of the meal but still lackluster. I do give it a 4 of 5 in overall quality and tastiness, so that's quite good. It was a very simple salad in too small of a bowl with the dressing on the side and perhaps too many very herby and very crunchy croutons. | |
|
|
|
| | | Zoomed in on that there salad. | |
|
|
|
| | | So when the French dip came out, I was basically like "WTF?" why is it all white? Where the meat. And the jus, also WTF. That's a bunch of floating garlic. I was by no means impressed and here I am two hours later writing up the review and still smell the garlic on me and I'm not impressed. Very angry in fact! This sandwich was coyote ugly bad. I wanted to eat my own arm off to get out of the situation but instead I ate the whole sandwich. But it was a punishment like that I hadn't experienced in some time. | |
|
|
|
| | | Let's see: a French dip sandwich that physically looks like it's oozing coleslaw. In fact it was flavorless and under-melted (probably vegan) cheese. The vegans might not know food. I was also affeared that there would be no use of butter and those fears were fully confirmed. My rage is growing. | |
|
|
|
| | | Seriously. Why does it look like this? | |
|
|
|
| | | I feel ashamed to hold it in my hand. | |
|
|
|
| | | I feel like I am eating a Seafood Delight sandwich from Subway. But it doesn't taste good. | |
|
|
|
| | | I chew some and believe that the sandwich is under-flavored. | |
|
|
|
| | | The sandwich dipped into the jus in incrementally better but I am still not impressed. That is was not greasy is perhaps its only saving grace but other than that this sandwich had about zero redeeming qualities. | |
|
|
|
| | | Here's the second half. I dreaded eating it. I wanted to leave. I was so sad, so disillusioned and felt utterly alone. | |
|
|
|
| | | But I plowed on because I am a man. But god it wasn't good. It was extremely oniony and garlicky tasting. And that cheese just looks so horrible and out of place. Unpleasing. | |
|
|
|
| | | This is the failed jus at the end. I didn't want it. | |
|
|
|
| | | Just not good. A pile of mess. | |
|
|
|
| | |
| | |
| | | Cold lettuce 4 in quality and flavor. | |
|
|
| Nice to start with a salad. | |
|
|
|
| | |
| | | What kind of cheese (not disclosed)? | |
|
|
|
| | | Predominant onion and garlic taste. | |
|
|
| Didn't even want to eat 2nd half. | |
|
| 2 overall, maybe even 1. Not being greasy saved it. | |
|
|
| | | Traditional hoagie probably not buttered. | |
|
| It was fine and of okay size but because vegan, not buttered and just plain. | |
|
|
|
| | | The Field Roast was salty and probably not enough of it. Very forgettable. | |
|
|
|
| | | Cheese not melted, looks like coleslaw. | |
|
| The onions were fine but too predominant. The cheese was an awful and ugly failure. | |
|
|
|
| | | Jus improves and moistens. | |
|
| Jus flavor 3, hot, garlic flavor. | |
|
| Visible garlic floating. Causes indigestion. Flavor maybe 2 but overall on the jus, a zero. | |
|
|
|
|
| Terrible sandwich. Never go back. | |
