Good variety of pies in ingredients, flavor, and presentation. Towards the end of the day they stopped serving non-pizza menu items.
Never in my whole life (69 years) have I had a more delicious pizza. Thank all you Ida folks for a spectacular product. BTW, my husband and I shared the artichoke square pie, and had a couple slices left for lunch the next day. Worth every penny.
Best restaurant and ingredients in the state. Dine in it’s worth it. Iconic atmosphere. Sensational experience from top to bottom. Burlington is spoiled with what Ida brings to the table. Patrick S smokes rocks
Why is the pizza so floppy? It’s not even cooked properly. Literally raw dough for most of the pie. Also idgaf about san marzanos when Jersey fresh are better and more sustainable.
My family visited and tried to place an order, and were told they might not have enough ingredients to make food for us. We waited for 15 minutes while seeing the owner and other cook continue working without addressing us. At 15 minutes we asked if we should keep waiting, at which point we received a snappy reply as if WE were being rude, and perhaps impatient. Needless to say, we left. No interest in supporting an establishment that actively ignores its clientele right in front of their faces, then speaks aggressively towards the.
Ive wanted to get here for a while, and finally today it happened. pizzeria Ida has an awesome open concept where you can see the food being prepared. The care that goes into each pie is clear. I got the classico round pie. This thing was HUGE and The flavor was great, not overly cheesy or saucy, but what really stood out was the crust- crunchy on the outside- fluffy on the inside. The vibe inside is also super cool, with tables for larger parties or stools along the bar. The only downside is the price (35$ for a pizza) but even so i look forward to going back.
I had an overall good experience.The space is small but clean. It is clearly Greatful Dead fan space.It was a little awkward when we got there, they seemed protective of their few seats in their small dining area. But they allowed us to take a high top table.The three of us ordered different items, all at the same time, but we got the meatball sub (which was dope, high points for that delicious, crispy bread) first, and then the pizzas later at two different times so I would say not the best environment for a shared dining experience unless you feel good about staggered meals.The menu reflected focus on the specific quality and caliber of the ingredients. And the prices matched.I didn't see much/any in terms of local ingredients in the menu, nor did I see any commitment to highlighting local ingredients on the menu.That being said the flavor profiles for the pizzas were really good honestly. It was an unexpected environment, high end pizza in the heart of a diverse working class community, playing Greatful Dead, in a stark space. I really felt well fed.I feel like the prices reflected an experience I don't believe I found. That being said, I did not have the opportunity to try the coffee, which seemed worth trying.The chef and staff were very, very kind. And I don't feel cheated, by any means. I enjoyed the experience. But I believe the community surrounding the space may struggle with it's prices. It doesn't feel like it's the best spot for this experiment in high end ingredient pizza.
Absolutely phenomenal establishment inside and out. From the quality of the pizza to the atmosphere of the restaurant there’s really nothing like it anywhere around. The highest quality ingredients straight from Italy or sourced locally in VT, combined with a true passion and vision, and all of the food being made by the owners and visionaries themselves, creates a truly unmatched product. They have raised the bar in the pizza world, and brought a wonderful restaurant to the VT, I always recommend people to come here when they visit. Anyone who has something negative to say about the establishment or the owners or way they run their business, is entitled, and doesn’t deserve to taste the taste anyways.
Here is the deal. Go early. My cheat codes to this place are as follows. Go with like 4 people, who can hold a conversation and whom you like, 2 bottles of wine. Get in, order, pop bottles, Chill out, might take 30 minutes for a pizza, but at least when you get the pizza it's going to be as perfect as you can get it. I've cooked from Napa valley to NYC, and this pizza is top 5. If you can't go in and enjoy the process, don't go.
Pretty awesome pizza but the owner is such an unwelcoming and rude person it's not worth going. I understand the need to price these pizzas so high (about 40 dollars for a plain pizza without a tip) but as someone who grew up pore I do think it's a little messed up to open you shop across from section 8 housing when you're charging like that.
