Megan gave us fantastic service on the patio! The Mom & Pop pizza was delicious. They have lunch specials from 11-3pm during the week and happy hour weekdays from 3-6pm. Brunch is also served on the weekends. Check out their website for the full menu.
Atmosphere was fantastic if you sit outside. Serviced was phenomenal. The cocktails were well made and had great flavor. On to the food: flavors and taste were good. Pasta was really overcooked and mushy. Desserts were average nothing special. Espresso was just coffee in a small cup (not actual espresso). Overall not a bad place to dine but definitely over Americanized Italian food.
Great food and service, happy hour deals and live music, very cool place.
The olives app and the Figlet and Proof pizzas were great. The pizza crust was perfect! The calamari was chewy, but still edible. The servers were very nice and the restaurant was cute.
I've been watching Proof for a few weeks now and decided to give them a go for lunch. Kudos to their website and online food photos that look delicious enough to, well, eat! Anyway, I visited Proof at Philip's Plaza in Tucson for a late lunch at around 2 pm. The food: I tried the cheesy bread and the Polynesian Pie. First, the pizza. The pizza is about a 12-inch round and perfect for one person. You can tell this is an artisan pizza by the quality of the pizza crust and the freshness of the toppings. This crust is the perfect delivery vehicle for the toppings: soft, airy, and subdued, which allows the flavor of the toppings to shine. The pineapple, jalapeños, and cheese were fresh, tasty, and delicious. There was also prosciutto on the pizza, but the flavor of this ingredient was oddly absent. Still a great pizza, but I would like more prosciutto flavor. The cheesy bread was also good and had a nice garlic, cheesy flavor. I don't prefer the choice of crusty bread for this appetizer as having to gnaw my way through the bread detracted from enjoying the appetizer and getting to the cheese. Using a softer bread would have been better, in my opinion. Still good, though. The ambiance: Understated decor with both inside and outside seating. I sat outside in the covered seating area. There was a real New Orleans vibe going on because of the blues music playing. It rather took me back to NOLA. Great food in a relaxed, chill atmosphere. It looks like they do karaoke there, too. The service: Spot on, friendly, and attentive. You can tell the staff pays attention to the details and to their customers. So, overall, I very much recommend Proof to people who enjoy great pizza in a good environment. I would have given a 5-star review if the cheesy bread had been better, but that's my thing - I'm sure others like it as it is. Go there, relax, and absorb the scene of a great place.
