I’m thinking it will be a nicer sit down Lit. Which I’m all for

Lit is good for what it is, but it’s not Neapolitan style pizza. Based on the pictures they have posted, they are shooting for Neapolitan.

They had a soft opening last night. Shaya’s influence was apparent, as there were several items very similiar to Domenica (as previously stated) and several items highlighting local products (such as Iverstine). Beer and wine list is solid. Food was excellent. As with any new restaurant, they will be working out kinks as they get up and running.... but its clear they did some extensive training - pretty amazed how smooth last night seem to flow. Place was 100% capacity for several hours. Cool building & atmosphere, too.

Personally, I am excited to have this place n BR and look forward to going back and trying more things.

So I've read mixed reports that yesterday was the soft opening or today is the soft opening. Was yesterday super soft and invitation only and tonight is just limited seating or what? Trying to figure out when I can get in the door

Uhhh, the pic in the link is NOT Neapolitan pizza, and it's BURNED too.




ETA...all BR needs is another "gourmet pizza" joint.

Because they lie about their crummy burnt pizza and BR needs yet another sterile, trendy looking, faux-cutting edge LPK? Oh, what's that you say, they have pizzas with fruit and cured meat and eclectic artisinal cheeses on them? And peppery leafy greens? And you can feel like you're somebody while you actually just eat crummy overpriced pizza?

Still a FAIL. Where my downvotes is?!?!

Interesting take off of a picture, seems like you might wanna TRY it, before you bash it.

Let me guess, Fleur de Lis has the best pizza in town?

Do you really need me to answer you?

It's burnt. There are areas of that pie that have cooked beyond the point of having any nutritional, olfactory, caloric, aesthetic, and or gastronomic value.

Nothing less than a perfect pie should be in the picture, don't you think?

Enjoy guys.

youre eating pizza and worried about nutrition and calories?

plenty of food tastes great when pieces are burnt.

will do. after looking at your travel board recs, maybe this place isnt for you
