  Soon expanding its Neapolitan concept to a second store, Citizen Pie has quickly made its name amongst Clevelanders as *the* place for artisan Pizza despite a somewhat out-of-the-way location at 15710 Waterloo Road, the limited menu in no way indicative of a lack of craftsmanship, though lessons in customer service could certainly do the youthful staff some good.Quick-fire in its concept, a single communal table and bar offered for dining in after orders are placed at the counter up front, it was to a disinterested young man that a few questions were directed before making a selection, a patron apparently seen as a distraction to conversation with his beanie-clad friends.Told that they dont do water by the glass, a seat thus taken with nothing to drink, it was in brisk motions that dough was stretched, topped and placed in the oven, a few turns and twists seeing the piping-hot pie soon presented tableside with plenty of blisters and a great deal of yeastiness, the sauce pure and unsweetened with a center that was droopy but not wet.Deciding to order dessert, the pre-made Tartufo tiny but rich with Cocoa and Rum, it was once again in an attempt to engage the staff that inquisition was made about the wood imparting crusts with such smoke and flexibility, the answer I dunno man, its a blend I guess, again making one question the teams passion, though a later message from the owner via Social Media assured me that such behavior was not what Citizen Pie stands for, and that it would be addressed. endoedibles.com
