点评:Shout out to Mike’s Pizza and Pasta- - 803 Spartanburg Hwy in Hendersonville, NC!
With all of the stress with the wildfries, smoke and Code Purple air quality…. pizza sounded like the perfect comfort food. So off we went to Mike's Pizza and Pasta for lunch on Thursday.
We each had a small side salad to start. My Caesar salad was absolutely delicious! Loved their creamy dressing that was mixed in with crisp romaine, a nice amount of shaved Parmesan and crispy croutons. My husband, Terry Bozon enjoyed his side House Salad.
Another thing also we liked is their salad bowls were served with a small plate underneath. Usually when you are trying to neatly mix dressing in, everything is falling everywhere and quite often a grape tomato notoriously escapes and bounces to the floor. We know what a mess that can be! Having that plate underneath helps and is a nice touch so thank you to Mikes for that!
Now onto our amazing pizza! We ordered a 16” pizza so we can have leftovers. We asked if they could do an olive oil, garlic base instead of sauce. “Absolutely!” So our pizza with an olive oil- garlic base, half pepperoni and half mushroom was ordered!
We’re from upstate NY where they have really great pizza, so we are pizza-picky. When our pizza came out of Mike’s kitchen our eyes widened! Wow! Very, very nice! Plus it was huge!
We had to sit back and admire it. The pizza had generous amount of delicious pepperoni and mushrooms, placed on just right. A perfect thin layer of delicious melted, oooey- gooey cheese. No stinginess from the kitchen at Mike’s Pizza at all, they are very generous. This pizza was amazing! The top was glistening with the right amount of oily goodness …not too much, not too little…it was just right and is EXACTLY how we like our pizza!
Their crust was perfect! Hand-tossed and nicely thin…they can go thinner if you want or they may even be able to go thicker. Ask Earl, who I will talk about in a minute.
It had the perfect chew, tender, light and slightly crisp all in one pizza! SO incredibly flavorful, seasoned just right with just the perfect amount of …EVERYTHING! A thin yet sturdy crust with super nice, slightly airy thin edges. The bottom was nicely crisp and browned just right. The pizza is foldable too if you are into that…me, I am a Miss Priss, so I use a knife and fork. Yasssss I know…sacrilege! 😜 My hubby just picks up a slice and eats it.
We enjoyed our pizza so much that we asked our waitress to please tell the kitchen how delicious their pizza was and to give them a round of applause from us. We loved this delicious pizza that much!
A nice man named Earl came out to talk to us. Earl knows pizza, has had the right training and he knows how makes it right. (In our conversation, he may have mentioned something about Italy too). He is true Pizza-Man! So hats off and Bravo to you Earl! (If you go there M-F, be sure to ask for Earl to make your pizza, otherwise he’s at their Brevard Location. ) Our waitress was amazing too, super friendly and very attentive.
Anyway, Mike’s Pizza and Pasta is now one of our favorites! Thanks guys, we loved your food and the service. It takes a team to do it right so take a bow guy and gals! Excellent job! Our pizza and salads were outstanding! 👏 👏
翻译:向 Mike’s Pizza and Pasta 致敬——位于北卡罗来纳州亨德森维尔的 Spartanburg Hwy 803 号!
野薯条、烟雾和紫色代码空气质量带来的压力……披萨听起来像是完美的舒适食品。所以我们周四去 Mike’s Pizza and Pasta 吃午餐。
我们每人都吃了一小份沙拉作为开胃菜。我的凯撒沙拉非常美味!我喜欢他们的奶油酱汁,里面混合着脆生菜、适量的帕尔马干酪片和脆面包丁。我的丈夫 Terry Bozon 很喜欢他的家常沙拉。
我们还喜欢他们的另一件事,那就是他们的沙拉碗下面放着一个小盘子。通常当你试图把酱汁均匀地混合在一起时,所有的东西都会掉得到处都是,而且葡萄番茄经常会掉落到地上。我们知道那会有多乱!下面放着那个盘子很有帮助,而且很贴心,所以感谢 Mikes 的帮助!
现在开始我们美味的披萨吧!我们点了一个 16 英寸的披萨,这样我们就可以吃剩菜了。我们问他们是否可以用橄榄油和大蒜底料代替酱汁。“当然可以!”于是我们点了橄榄油蒜底、一半意大利辣香肠一半蘑菇的披萨!
我们来自纽约州北部,那里的披萨非常好吃,所以我们对披萨很挑剔。当我们的披萨从 Mike 的厨房端出来时,我们的眼睛都瞪大了!哇!非常非常好吃!而且份量很大!
我们不得不坐下来欣赏它。披萨上有大量美味的意大利辣香肠和蘑菇,摆放得恰到好处。一层完美的薄层,美味融化,粘稠的奶酪。Mike’s Pizza 的厨房一点也不吝啬,他们非常慷慨。这个披萨太棒了!顶部闪闪发光,油腻适中……不多不少……恰到好处,正是我们喜欢的披萨!
他们的外皮很完美!手工抛制,薄而漂亮……如果您愿意,可以做得更薄,甚至可以做得更厚。问问 Earl,我一会儿会谈到他。
它有完美的咀嚼感、柔软、轻盈和略带酥脆感,全都集中在一个披萨里!味道如此美妙,调味恰到好处,所有配料的量都恰到好处!薄而坚固的外皮,边缘非常漂亮,略带蓬松感。底部酥脆,焦黄程度恰到好处。如果你喜欢,披萨也可以折叠……我,我是个爱挑剔的人,所以我用刀叉。是的,我知道……亵渎神明!😜 我老公只是拿起一片就吃了。
我们非常喜欢我们的披萨,所以我们请女服务员告诉厨房他们的披萨有多美味,并代表我们为他们鼓掌。我们太喜欢这个美味的披萨了!
一个叫 Earl 的好人出来和我们聊天。Earl 了解披萨,受过正确的培训,他知道如何做披萨。(在我们的谈话中,他可能也提到了一些关于意大利的事情)。他是真正的披萨人!所以向你脱帽致敬,向你致敬,Earl! (如果您在周一至周五去那里,请务必让 Earl 为您制作披萨,否则他就在他们的 Brevard 分店。)我们的女服务员也很棒,非常友好,非常细心。
无论如何,Mike’s Pizza and Pasta 现在是我们的最爱之一!谢谢大家,我们喜欢你们的食物和服务。需要团队才能做好,所以向大家致敬!干得好!我们的披萨和沙拉非常棒!👏 👏
