It's A Beautiful Pizza

I went to 'It's a Beautiful Pizza' for the first time last night. I went to meet friends to watch the live music + belly dancers that they have on Wednesday nights.

When I came in, I spotted my friends at a table and headed over there. About 10 minutes later a woman came over demanding a cover charge. I don't think I can adequately communicate how INCREDIBLY RUDE this woman was, but I'll give it my best shot.

Rude Woman: "There's a cover. You didn't pay the cover. It's five dollars."
Me: "Oh, I didn't realize there was a cover, sorry about that"
Rude Woman: "FIVE DOLLARS. There's a SIGN by the ENTRANCE", (hands on hips, glaring at me sideways and scowling as if I had deliberately snuck in)
Me: "I was just APOLOGIZING. I hadn't seen the sign"
Rude Woman: "Well it's FIVE DOLLARS" (still scowling)

At this point I'm also glaring back and hand her the money. Then, I go up to the counter to order some pizza with my friend....

The guy behind the counter (who I can smell from several feet away, by the way), explains to my friend that they can't make custom slices of pizza that night, but he can put cold toppings on a cheese pizza slice for her. Unfortuantely for her, the live music had started again and she couldn't hear completely hear what he was saying.

My Friend: "Ok, I'll take a slice with artichoke, onions..."
Stinky Guy behind counter: "You want COLD onions?" (he interrupts)
My Friend: "Oh, the toppings are cold?"
Stinky Guy behind counter: (scowling) "I just SAID the toppings are COLD. Work with me here!"

He saw my friend and I exchange looks, and made some excuse about why he was rude.

Manager at "It's a Beautiful Pizza", there is no excusing this kind of behavior in the restaurant business. I won't be back.

Interesting?!? after a bad review there is a good review, could have only been written by the owner. Horrible pizza, cold and dried out, crust like cardboard......customer service WORSE rude, crude, down right nasty and offensive. will NEVER RETURN!!! One star is too good for this place!!! Appalling!!!Unpleasant experience will share this with many, it's time to close the doors.

Ok either I must be crazy or the last 5 reviewers are, I'm gonna go with the latter. ;) I love this place! From the wide open space to the delicious pizza to the beer on tap. I seriously consider myself a pizza connoisseur and there's something right on about the sauce at this place. The crust was perfectly done with a slight sweet crunch and the cheese was melted just right. I like the fact that they have slices for a good price, $2.50 for a cheese or pepperoni. The pepperoni was a little greasy... but isn't that what pepperoni is about? I come from a midwest sense of how a pizza should taste... think Chicago deep dish and gourmet sauces, so if you're into that then you'll love the pizza here. And really, does it get any better than bellydancing, beer and pizza? I think not. It's a beautiful life!

I know that pizza is a lot like sex--there's no such thing as bad. Well, anyone who's ever said that hasn't been to this place on Belmont Street. It's a nice enough place, they've got a couple of good beers on tap, but the pizza isn't edible at all. Sauce--tastes like it came out of a can. Cheese--way too thick and burnt. Crust--holy cow, you think that even Forrest Gump could have gotten 1 out of 3 right. Not this place. The crust is only a few notches above the cardboard at the bottom of a Tombstone frozen pizza from the grocery store. I take my pizza seriously. At this joint, unfortunately, no one is taking the pizza seriously.

That s what my dad would say... When you need to fill up cause you have to and it s too much trouble to heat up the hot pockets, you end up at the beautiful pizza.
I never left satisfied, never felt bad about not leaving tips, and would never recommend this place to anyone. Belmont street is about to become a very, VERY nice area; Owner of the beautiful pizza, if you read this would you please leave this prime retail space for someone talented?
