I had been told about Corner Pizza and Grill earlier in the year by friends who had gone and enjoyed it. I added it to my list for the occasion when I wasn't in the mood to cook. We found ourselves in such a situation last week when we decided to finally strike it off the list and paid them a visit.
The shopfront was small and there was a modest counter. The takeaway menu provided for the standard menu whilst the specials menu was provided in chalk on the wall. Ordering was quick and simple at the counter.
There were very few seats outside, most guests opted for take away but we wanted to eat whilst it was fresh. I wish I hadn't actually made that choice as there were quite a few mosquitoes I had to defend myself from whilst I was eating. Being a predominantly take away venue also meant that we had no serviettes to wipe our hands or face with that night, making it hard to drive home with greasy hands.
Our food arrived fairly quickly. Between the two of us we shared a Truffle Stracciatella and Prosciutto pizza and a 3 meat pizza
The three meat pizza comprised of ham, mild salami and bacon. Toppings were very generous and complimented the sauce well. I particularly liked the fact that this tomato sauce did not overpower the meats or cheese and that a balance was achieved between all elements. The base was also delicious and fluffy with just the right amount of char on the edges.
Our Truffle Stracciatella and Prosciutto was also excellent with generous amounts of prosciutto and stracciatella. Again the base was delicious and we found the refreshing cheese and salty prosciutto to contrast each other well. I only wish that there was a stronger truffle flavour.
Rounding off with dessert, this was a serve of tiramisu. It was just the right portion size to share. I really enjoyed its light creamy texture and heavy hit of coffee, making it the perfect finish to our delicious meal.
We really enjoyed our meal at Corner Pizza and Grill. I'll definitely be back but next time I'm getting takeaway for home instead.
