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.
