Editorial Review for Serious Pie – by Anna Roth
The Scene
This comfortable space keeps things cozy by only offering a limited number of shared wooden tables for patrons lucky enough to snag a seat. Diners can watch the inner workings of the Dahlia Bakery through a wall of glass or observe chefs prepare their pizzas in the open kitchen. The exposed wood beam ceiling and wrought-iron candle chandeliers cast a romantic glow over the entire scene.
The Food
The oblong, eight-slice pizzas come loaded with gourmet toppings--one featuring a perfect blend of barely spicy cherry bomb peppers and house-made sweet fennel sausage is a favorite, while the traditional house mozzarella and cheese variety satisfies. The crust is thin, chewy and, at times, tastes almost sweet. Starters and desserts change depending on what's in season but are suitably light; most diners order a large green salad, which comes in a large bowl perfect for sharing.

From everything I'd heard about Serious Pie, I expected nothing less than great from this buzzing pizza joint. Yet after just one bite of my house special--buffalo ricotta, rosemary, porcini, and parmesan--pizza, I was an instant convert. Delicate and distinct flavors shined from my pie, allowing my brain to conjure up more adjectives than just 'salty'. My husband's pizza resembled your more average red sauce, cheese and sausage deal, but the small cherry bomb peppers left the perfect amount of pop and sizzle- enough to make out the earthy fennel sausage, and with just enough cool for the next tasty bite. So already I am 2 for 2 with the pizza, and I can't wait to go back and experiment with totally novel and exciting flavor combinations.
Pros: service, atmosphere
