OAK CLIFF PIZZA BATTLE PART DEUXXX:
If the other one was the first, this was the second. This particular episode was inspired by our recent visit to Vitto Italian and the fact that we hadn’t given Eno’s a shot yet. I also thought that perhaps our rather disastrous pasta run could be redeemed with an excellent showing by Vitto in a pizza battle. In the end…
Round one: THE NAME
Vitto: My Italian is about as good my Spanish, so let’s say that if Vitto is a word in Italian it might be related to tires or something. I still think it is more phonetically pleasing to say Vitto Italian-o, but apparently that still isn’t the name of the place.
Eno’s: As far as Eno’s, I don’t know what that means either. Presumably there is someone or some inanimate object named Eno that inspired some part of the restaurant, but who knows? Admittedly, if you search for both of these online you’ll find a menu for Eno’s – convenient and if you leave out the apostrophe you’ll find other interesting businesses in Dallas.
Round one: draw
Round two: THE SCENE
Vitto: Well, the staff is very, very friendly. Really you can’t complain that they don’t try to make you feel welcome when you show up at the place. However, there’s not really any kind of lounge area and there are no ‘grown up’ drinks available unless you want the barrel stuff you get with an entrée. As a result, if your phone’s web browser is stuck on something like “The UKs Sexiest Ambulance Driver,” you’re probably going to be staring at the walls for a while.
Eno’s: They’ve got the requisite big screen TVs, a decent bar set up and some fakey distressed lawn furniture. In combination with the chalkboard wall hangings it only feels somewhat manufactured while slightly straining for some sort of comfortable neighborhood feel. Overall, kudos on the beer selection and the wines by the glasses aren’t too bad, either.
Round two: Eno’s – wide margin
Round three: THE SERVICE
Vitto: Super friendly and accurate. However, if you’ve called ahead there’s not much they can do for you other than point you to a table.
Eno’s: The guy at the bar is enthusiastic about his selections, although I think almost everyone in the place tells me at least once they have Dogfish 120 IPA. Yeah, I like a hoppy brew once in a while too, but like acetaminophen and the characteristics of your favorite gender there’s too little, just right and just too damn much. This beer is a G cup.
Round two: Eno’s slight edge since they actually had something to offer.
Round four: THE FOOD
In this battle, we pit an Eno’s Original up against a straightforward Vitto pepperoni mushroom. The Eno’s Original is topped with tomato, salami, mushroom and sport peppers. I don’t know why they aren’t sporty, just sport. The Vitto pep+mush is pretty much self explanatory.
Eno’s: There’s definitely a sharp tang of garlic in the aroma of this one. The result is a decent sized pie that has been cut in to smallish squares. The crust is super thin, like a few sheets of ruled paper thin. It begs the question how thin is so thin that what we’re eating here really is a fancy cracker and not a pizza any more? However, it has a slight crunch and the toppings are first rate. It isn’t particularly greasy, either. So, whether this is a pizza or you’d want to call it something else, it’s a decent snack.
Vitto: When I picked up this pizza I imagined that I would be writing lines like “in an amazing turnaround from the pasta debacle, Vitto slayed Eno’s with a dead horse head of a pie.” However, it was not to be. The Vitto offering is about the same size as the Eno’s piece, but it is cut into the more traditional shape of Jennifer Aniston’s face: pointed, triangular and irregular. The crust is a thicker style that in the first couple of bites isn’t too bad, but with a couple of minutes it takes on the consistency of a sloppy facecloth. The pepperoni is all right, I suppose, for chain restaurant pizza. I hoped that my previous mushroom experience would have been rectified, but I find it has not. They’re just too watery to have come from someplace other than a can.
Round four: Eno’s
Battle: ENO’S
I know when it comes to pizza the crust issue is a big deal for some of you. Thin, thick, Roman whatever style is a very personal and sometimes painful decision to make. In this case, I think it’s a little like asking who’s sexier: Lil’ Wayne or Scarlett Johansson. Forgetting the overall debate and focusing on this particular battle, despite what I would say is a blatantly obvious choice there will be some of you who will disagree to the end.
I also couldn’t necessarily tell if either place had the minimum acceptable number of New York state rodent digits and fecal matter for authenticity.
Truthfully, my preconception leading up to this battle was that I wouldn’t really care for the Eno’s scene and that Vitto would really pull out a victory here. However, in the end, I was pleasantly surprised with the situation at Eno's. I'll stop by again for a drink or a quick snack some time soon.
