Figs By Todd English

Not sure where these bad reviews are coming from, but this is gourmet pizza at its finest! The pizza combinations and flavors were right out of Flavor-town, I’m thinking the previous reviewers are PizzaHut or Dominos connoisseurs. We had the Fig and Prosciutto pizza and a Bronx Bomber (we added Italian Sausage), probably the best pizzas we have ever eaten. When we arrived to pickup our food, Juan apologized as they were backed up so he poured us a glass of wine as we waited……Who does that these days? The food, service and ambiance was outstanding; too bad we live in Colorado to not experience this more often! Thanks Figs for the fabulous experience!

Ordered the carbonara, calamari, eggplant sliders, and the fig & prosciutto pizza for delivery. Despite being a delivery order, the calamaris were still crispy, and I liked the creamy sauce on the side. The baked figs on the pizza had a sugary texture and it seemed like they were doing a partial fig jam spread on the pizza. I personally don’t mind my pizza being sweet, so the combination of the sweet fig and the salty prosciutto was nice. Carbonara was authentic and better than some places in North End. Only thing that I thought was average were the eggplant sliders. The amount of cheese on the eggplants was overwhelming and the eggplants were also mediocre.

To be honest I thought it would taste better. There is nothing wrong with it at all but it didn't get me excited. Walking by this restaurant smells so good!!! Perhaps I just need to order something else. We got the fig and prosciutto pizza with rosemary dough. It is very very sweet, which I don't personally love in a pizza. The fig jam kind of took over all the flavor, and there was no hint of rosemary in the dough. The pizza was cooked perfectly though and the staff were very nice. They seemed to do a lot of takeout so perhaps a different pizza flavor is the way to go.

The pizza here is really good. I look forward to eating it again. The food was the star of the show.That said, here's why I did now give five stars; the chocolate "lava" cake had good flavor but was cooked incorrectly and there was no molten middle. The would not let us make a reservation for 7:00 so we did 6:30, at 7:00 and for some time after, half the tables were still avaliable. The pizza was at the pass for a while. I saw staff talking, walking by it, and doing other things while our food was sitting there. Finally, I'm not cheap; I'll spend a lot on a good meal and/or a drink, but they charge $4 for a diet coke. $4! That's just not right.
