First Day Review of Lakeside Pizza and Grill.
Me and my wife went to the first day of the restaurant being open. Some good things… some things that need to be tweaked.
First the food. No complaints here. We ordered a salad and a pizza and shared both, and it was a lot that we had to take some leftovers home. The pizza style is much like Austin Pizza and Rockin Tomato in the sense of the lighter/thinner crust and higher quality cheese and ingredients. They also have salads, soups. hoagies, sandwiches and more. They also have beer, wine and I assume a full bar.
Next the layout. I liked the layout a lot. Its an L shape with plenty of seating. On the longer side of the L is a wraparound bar and the open air kitchen is behind the bar. There is also a staircase that goes upstairs to a small landing that can seat about 10 people. The only thing I did not like is the lighting in certain areas is not that bright. I did like the five or six flat panel TV’s on the wall above the bar, though.
So far so good. Pretty smooth opening. I suggest you check it out for yourself. That parking lot with the opening of Fion and Lakeside Pizza and Grill was as full as I have ever seen it.
