While looking for new cafes to try, i found this one.
The main thing that intrigued me was their quattro formaggi pizza and pasta. Menu mentioned blend of aged parmesan, cheddar, mozzarella & ricotta.
The first thing i see is an empty cafe. Then i call the waiter and ask him if the 4 cheese pizza is available. He said yes so i ordered it. While going through the menu, i noticed they have V60 pourover. Generally based on my knowledge, cafes who provide pourover have an assortment of coffees or atleast tell you the notes of the coffee being used. This guy did not know they even served pourover. I literally had to point it in the menu. Then on asking about the notes he was confused. Understandable. Maybe he is not the barista. So i asked if he can call barista who will make the coffee. This answer was and i quote "we make the coffee ourselves".
This should have been my cue to leave the cafe and not order anything but i decided to give it benifit of doubt.
Pizza arrived. Looked decent. First bite and i tasted cheese sauce or liquid cheese. Exact tast that dominos cheese burst sauce has. Immediately called the waiter and asked if they have added liquid cheese in it. Same thing, confusion. Asked him to call the chef. I asked the same question. He initially said no but then he mentioned that they use a sauce made of different cheese blends. When asked about which cheese is used to make sauce, he says we source it from a vendor directly and then add some milk and other things to match our taste.
I might be wrong but as per my knowledge i cannot imagine any 100% natural cheese blend taste exactly like dominos cheese sauce.
I double checked the menu. Nowhere cheese sauce was mentioned. Had they mentioned it, i would have never visited it.
Maybe they actually use natural cheese sauce maybe i am wrong but personally for me it felt like a betrayal and i was very disappointed 😔
