Review - Fleur by Hubert Keller - Las Vegas, NV

Fleur by Hubert Keller

I remember dining here when It was Fleur de Lys, Chef Hubert Keller has transformed this into a more casual restaurant serving smaller plates.  If you are looking for a substantial meal, this probably isn't the place to go - the servings are small and I'd recommend ordering 2-3 dishes for a lighter lunch.

I wasn't really impressed with Flying Squirrel Pizza Co.  I critique pizza mainly on the crust, and Flying Squirrel's crust just wasn't very good.  It was kind of too chewy, dry, and pretty bland.  Despite being a thin crust, the outer edge was kind of gross.  But I loved the toppings, so that's why I upped it to 2 stars for the food.  Crust, maybe 1 star.  The crust was even worse the next day.

The Definitive Guide to Pizza at Serious Pie

For pizza in Seattle, I have decided that Serious Pie is my favorite. I mentioned in a previous post that I believe that pizza is available in different categories. Frozen, delivery, traditional (Neapolitan) and gourmet. Serious Pie is definitely gourmet, and not necessarily for someone in search of traditional pizza.

Since moving to Seattle from the suburbs about 6 years ago, I have been exposed to a whole different level of pizza. Goodbye Domino's, Papa John's, Pizza Hut. Ick. Actually, I didn't really love pizza until I moved to Seattle. My SO loves pizza. Zeek's, Pagliacci, Via Tribunali, Veraci, you name it, we've tried it. Then Serious Pie opened and all of my pizza preferences shifted.

Review - Serious Pie SLU pt. 2

I went back to Serious Pie this weekend, 8pm on a Saturday night and no wait for a table! Fantastic! I walked in knowing what I wanted to order - The pizza with brussels sprouts, pancetta, caramelized onions & ricotta cream.

I looked at the menu and to my disappointment it was gone!! Turns out that this isn't a regular menu item and the SLU location is now able to come up with their own concoctions, the brussels sprouts is one of the Downtown locations creations. Urgh. I was let down to say the least.

So I decided on the pizza topped with Yellowfoot chanterelles and truffle cheese.

In my opinion, pizza is available in at least 4 different categories.  1 - Delivery, 2 - Frozen, 3 - Traditional Italian, and 4 - Gourmet. Tom Douglas's Serious Pie falls in to category 4.
