some friends and i went to
blindlady pizza for dinner and drinks tonight.
my friends and i tend to be big fans of both pizza and beer, so we were anxious to check the place out when we heard it opened just a few weeks prior. blind lady is located in north park on adams street.
their beer selection was decent, but a little pricier than i expected at 6:30pm on a thursday night. nothing outrageous, i think i paid $5 for a beer. i went with an organic light beligium beer. i'm a fan of white beers, so i really enjoyed my beer.
for pizza, i had trouble deciding. many of their pizzas were.....a little unusual. being in an adventurous mood, i decided to order the butternut squash pizza. the menu indicated that it also had mushrooms, which i love. i anticipated there would be chunks of squash so that if i did not like it, i could pick it off. as you can see....
...i was wrong. the squash was basically blended into the pizza with the cheese. but somehow, it worked. it was actually pretty good. the pizza was decent size (for a woman of my size) so i ate half and saved the other half for lunch tomorrow.
i also had the opportunity to try the prosciutto pizza which i thought was better than mine.
blindlady doesn't use waitstaff, so you go to the counter and place your order. there's a separate counter for beer and for pizza, which i found to be slightly inconvenient because both lines were long when i joined. but, the place is only a few weeks old and they are likely still figuring out the kinks, so i won't hold that against them.
overall, a decent place to eat. I spent about $17-18 for a beer and pizza, including tip. you could probably find a cheaper drink and pie somewhere else, but at least you're not limited to bud light.
out.
