Monday night quarterbacking: Pizzazz Tuscan Grille

PizzazzPizza.jpgAs I make my way through the restaurants that have opened recently (new places are always my priority when I review) I'm struck by how much they are trying to do the same things -- partly because of the economy and partly because of the hottest trends in the restaurant business: local/seasonal/sustainable.

The new places are doing a pretty good job of being affordable, and one of the best examples is the restaurant I reviewed yesterday, Pizzazz Tuscan Grille in the Pier V Hotel. I don't know if it will succeed, but I think it has a better chance than any of the places that preceded it.  I guess the real test is how it does in the winter when it no longer has tourists to draw on.

The two-size entrees are great for two people. My DW and I saw a similar setup at a restaurant in Seattle last month. It allowed us to get shareable portions without wanting to eat more than we should or wasting food we couldn't take home because we weren't at home.
