Fantastic feast awaits at PizzalChik . . . Huh, where?
What's the name of that place?" co-workers asked again and again about the difficult-to-pronounce and remember PizzalChik, a small pizza/salad/chicken (now do you get it?) eatery in the Gary Lane Plaza. But while the name is understandably easy to goof, the food is nothing short of deliciously memorable.
Pizzalchik... then the other.
When asked to review Pizzalchik, I was hesitant. I couldn't get past the name, which stands for PIZZa, sALad and CHIcKen. I'm nothing if not dedicated to my job, though, so I rounded up the Beast (my 4-year old niece), the Skater (one of my two teenaged nephews) and my sister-in-law, the Schoolteacher. We went to experience Pizzalchik for better or worse.
Pizzalchik On one plate...
I entered Pizzalchik's small space around 11 a.m. and an eager, smiling man behind the counter asked if he could give me "the tour," so to speak. He proceeded to tell me about a multitude of fresh ingredients, including homemade salad dressings and vegetables and meats roasted/smoked/pickled in-house. From the focaccia bread to the "afterthought du jour" (dessert), almost everything on the menu is as fresh and original as it comes, and there's a syllable for every taste.
