Holy seasoning!

Well, we decided to try the new Sammy's Woodfired Pizza Kitchen that opened around the corner. I haven't been to a Sammy's in about 10 years and things have indeed changed. They now have a whole section of 'tapas,' in addition to pizzas, entrees, sandwiches & tacos, and salads. Perhaps the menu is a little too ambitious (I don't think Gordon Ramsay would approve), but I'm a fan of the tapas because it means I don't have to decide on just one thing.

We opted for a couple of tapas/appetizers and a pizza. The hummus and baba ganoush each came with what the menu called 'grilled flatbread,' which was actually pizza dough that was drenched in butter and some dried herb pesto/seasoning mix. You could hardly even see bread, there was so much seasoning on there. Needless to say, it was pretty overwhelming and basically impossible to taste anything except that. We asked if we could get some plain grilled flatbread and our waiter said it wouldn't be a problem. When he brought it out, he commented that he never realized they could make the flatbread without all of that seasoning nonsense and would definitely order it that way himself in the future. I am shocked that no one has asked for that before.

Anyway, we also got a BBQ chicken pizza....substituting mushrooms for chicken on half for the semi-veggie bf. Definitely should have requested light on the cheese, because there's enough on there to clog every artery in your body. If we go back, we definitely need to work on our ordering skills. Small pet peeve...they charged extra for the mushrooms on the pizza, even though they were substituting for chicken, which I have to imagine is more expensive than mushrooms. Whatever.

They kept bringing out these giant ice cream sundaes piled high with whipped cream to tables around us and the brownie sundae version sounded really good, but I was way too full and since I'm still trying to work on overcoming my tendency to eat until I'm in pain, I was a good girl and passed. In hindsight, I probably should have just ordered the damn brownie sundae for dinner.
