Blind Lady Ale House/Viva Pops (V?) (Normal Heights)

In brief: Foodgirl gets lots of recs from her friends (and from yelp-surfing). BLAH is supposed to be "not blah." A friend says it's great, takes her kids - and proclaimed to me that the pizza is better than Basic Urban Kitchen ("fresh, wonderful ingredients, etc.").

Sorry - that doesn't matter if the pizza is BLAND!!! Maybe we had bad luck, but all three of our pizzas were boring, tasteless, not very interesting. Wished we had gone to Sicilian Thing - cheaper, faster, much yummier. Yes, BLAH has a great beer selection and games for kids. But it was too much pizza hype and not enough good pizza for us!

However, being on Adams Avenue was a fine excuse for....visit #5 (?) to Viva Pops. Anyone reading this tonight: they are giving away FREE VIVA POPS (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) at the Little Italy Farmers Mercado tomorrow morning (Sat.) b/c they are going to be on the cooking channel. Super-Toddler loved his strawberry once again: Mom resisted (so sad) b/c the BLAH blah pizza was sitting in my tummy.
