The word on Beyond Pompeii Pizza
Here's the word going around
Full disclosure, I haven't stepped foot in this place yet. This is all intel from the ground, from those who have.

Word on the street, Beyond Pompeii can sling a decent pie. Reviewers often point to the Marguerita, praising its "excellent" main portion. The Zabiha halal chicken pizza also earns high marks for taste and arriving piping hot, a specific draw for many. Custom creations, like one with pepperoni, cherry tomatoes, mushroom, and spinach, get a thumbs up. But consistency is a crapshoot. It's a "hit or miss" joint by most accounts. Some find the crust a bit chewy, others wish for more toppings. And if you're venturing beyond the pizza, beware. The "lava rocks" are described as hollow and plain, with a watery marinara. A chicken salad apparently showed up "ice cold and pink in some parts". It's a culinary tightrope walk, it seems.
I'm curious enough to roll the dice. See if the pizza holds up.
The Order
Stick to the pizza. The Marguerita gets a strong nod. The Zabiha halal chicken pizza is a clear winner for those who partake. Build your own, keep it simple.
⚠ Gotcha
If it ain't pizza, proceed with extreme caution. Especially the chicken salad and those "lava rocks".
That's the word on this one.
