Punch Neapolitan Pizza


We've been gone for a while, but now it's time for Evie and Carlos to get the reviews flowing again!  Today, we're reviewing our favorite pizza place on Grand Ave, PUNCH!  It's on a busy block, next door to Brasa (to be reviewed in the future).  Parking can be difficult, walk if you can.  We are regular customers here, as it is the closest restaurant to our house.

Kids Menu Choices
Bambini (very small cheese pizza,)

Evie's Order
Adult sized Margherita Pizza (no basil)
San Pelegrino Limonata

  

Evie's Review:  The margherita is a cheese pizza with olive oil and basil (but you don't have to get the basil if you ask for it to be removed).  This tastes just like the bambini, but is bigger.  The bambini just isn't big enough for anyone over the age of 4, maybe 3.  Depends how big of an appetite they have.  In my opinion, I think the pizza is quite good.  They don't put on too much olive oil, or cheese.  It's almost the perfect pizza.  I also ate some salad, but I don't really remember what that was like.  San Pellegrino Limonata is like a lemon-ade soda.  They also have an orange version.  I always order it here.  I like it because it is cool and refreshing.  I get it on camping trips as well as at punch.

Evie's Rating:  5 stars

Carlos' Order
Rugula Pizza (Arugula and Prosciutto)
Punch Salad (shared)
Beer



Carlos' Review:  You could do a lot worse than having Punch Pizza 3 blocks from your house.  Quick and easy after school dinner.  I like the pizzas which have uncooked arugula on them.  I appreciate that Evie can have a relatively round meal... and they usually have a couple interesting beers on tap.  Sometimes I wish they had some non-traditional topping choices... and/or add some more Euro style toppings (egg for instance?).  But... overall, great go-to after school pizza spot, WAY better than delivery.

Carlos' Rating:  4 stars
