Date of dining experience: May 11, 2019
Place: Atlas Brick Oven Pizzeria
Location: 35 E. Market St. in Corning, NY
Appetizer: Garlic Bread Sticks ($4.95) - Baked fresh with garlic butter and served with a side of marinara. A standard item for a pizza place, but theirs were really good and appeared to be made of pizza dough.
Entree: Audry and I split a couple of small premium pizzas ($9.95 each). The Prosciutto Basil - tomato sauce, prosciutto, sauteed green peppers, garlic, fresh basil, Asiago, and their own cheese blend - was my favorite of the two. You can't go wrong with some ham and peppers, but add on basil and garlic and you have a wonderful mix of flavors. The other pizza, the Roasted Garlic - extra virgin olive oil, fresh roasted garlic, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese - was also good. However, though I keep trying sun-dried tomatoes in dishes, I really think they make dishes too sweet and detract from the flavors of the other items. If I was to order the Roasted Garlic pizza again, I would order it with tomato sauce in place of the sun-dried tomatoes. I think it would make the flavors of the feta cheese and fresh roasted garlic pop a little more.
Beer: A old standard, Magic Hat #9. Delicious and smooth, as always.
Overall, I would try this place again. As far as pizza goes, it's pretty good, especially for a smaller operation. As I mentioned above, there is one thing I would change about one of the pizzas, but that is just my personal preference. You are free to think whatever you want about sun-dried tomatoes. Try this place out for yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
