900° Woodfired Pizza Serves Up Yum

The restaurant at The Shops at Wiregrass is a crowd pleaser.

My family and I were at the Shops at Wiregrass a few nights ago when I realized I'd made a huge mistake—it was dinnertime, I had four starving children and every restaurant seemed packed with holiday shoppers.

I'm not sure what I was thinking. I knew it would be that way.

After being told the wait at Red Robin was 40 minutes, we wandered over to 900° Woodfired Pizza, a beacon of hope with its extra tables set up to accommodate the crowds.

We were seated immediately, and though the table was essentially in the parking lot, I was grateful they had planned ahead for the overflow.

And it was delicious. The pizza had that gooey, slide-off-the-crust cheese that makes me wish I had the kids' metabolism. (Give momma a fifth slice, will ya, honey?)

I had the Insalata dell Casa— crisp greens, a light balsamic dressing topped with fresh mozzarella and grilled eggplant. It was practically perfect in every way, and paired nicely with a draft Peroni.

And of course, what's pizza without Italian fries? An order of patatine frittes for $3.95 made for a balanced meal. Er, well, not really. But potatoes are vegetables, it's the holidays and we were hungry.
