Atmosphere

 

Boombozz is your typical “family style” restaurant. Three-fourths of the restaurant is for all-ages dining, as it should be in an establishment whose claim to fame is unique pizzas. However, there is limited bar seating for those who would prefer not to sit in the cramped dining area. I have only eaten in the bar area, but when walking through the main room I was surprised that such a wide open space could feel so cramped full of tables and people.

 

Service

 

I was greeted warmly by our waiter while waiting for my dining companion to arrive, and he informed me of the drink specials for the evening and explained the different beers well. The only real complaint I had was that after informing him I would be waiting until my dining companion arrived to consider ordering more than water, he still came and asked me again about 5 minutes later. Other than this one small blip the service was prompt, friendly, and knowledgeable and everyone seemed to enjoy being there.

 

Food

 

We decided to take advantage of a special (called two for twenty) which included an appetizer, a salad for each of us, and a medium pizza. Our salads were fresh, and something you would hope to be served before a dinner. We had soft pretzels as our appetizer; I would recommend ordering them if you ever choose to visit. The queso they serve with the pretzels is the highlight; our waiter even recommended keeping the sauce to dip our pizza crust into. The pretzels were soft on the inside, lightly crunchy on the outside, and had a good ratio of salt. Last, we ordered the buffalo chicken pizza. We chose the original crust, which had a light crunch on the outside with a bit of fluffiness. While I was disappointed that there were onions on the pizza when I requested none, the waiter caught it and did offer to have a fresh pizza brought out. The toppings were good and the sauce was not overpoweringly spicy as some buffalo sauces can be. Overall, I had a happy belly at the end of this evening.

 

Overview

 

I enjoyed my time at Boombozz, and would return. I would prefer if it were located in a slightly less congested area of the city, but that will not keep me away. I would recommend trying to keep the main dining area as open as the bar area; however, the families dining did not seem to care, and I had the option of dining in the bar area to get a bit more elbow room. Check out Boombozz if you want unique pizza flavors and an eclectic collection of local and Midwestern beers.
