This pizza is served only when the New BO Market is open
(Thursdays, Saturdays, Sundays). They
are named after a very smart dog named Maggie.
There is limited seating since the location is a trendy indoor market. Since there are other vendors, seating can
run a little tight at times...depending on the time of the day. The booth is very clean, and technologically
advanced. When you pay via credit card
you sign your name with your finger on a tablet, and you receive a tiny ticket
with your order (eco friendly?). If you
want something to drink, waters are $1, and I believe they have bottled
regional beer available. You can find their
menu online at: https://www.facebook.com/MaggiesFarmWoodFiredPizza/app_117784394919914
The Pizza
Chicago Style: No
Crust Thickness: Thin
 |
| Personal (10"), Chicken Bianca, Thin ($11.00) |
Our group consisted of 8 participants; so we ordered 6 pizzas. They currently serve eight different styles of
toppings for their pizzas, of which we ordered six different ones. Each pizza only came with only one crust,
which is thin-perfect for making a pizza while taking only about 8 minutes of
time! We ordered them in the only size,
a 'personal' sized 10". Each pizza
cost roughly $10.00. The pizzas
were:
Pizza Margherita - Fresh basil, crushed tomatoes, garlic, mozzarella, parmigiano-reggiano ($10.00)
Blue Cheese & Onion - Caramelized
onion, blue cheese ($10.00)

| Personal (10"), Blue Cheese & Onion, Thin ($10.00) |
Pepperoni -
Pepperoni, mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, parmigiano-reggiano ($11.00)
Prosciutto -
Prosciutto, mozzarella, crushed tomatoes, parmigiano-reggiano ($10.00)
Chicken Bianca - Garlic, mozzarella, pecorino,
parmigiano-reggiano, chicken (11.00)
Pesto - Pesto,
tomato and mozzarella ($10.00)
The Verdict

| Personal (10"), Pizza Margherita, Thin ($10.00) |

| Personal (10"), Pesto, Thin ($10.00) |
The thin crust pizzas were
cut into triangular-shaped pieces. The
crust was thin, since they have a wood-fired pizza oven, this is clearly the
draw. The turnaround time from order to
dining was very fast, only 8 minutes! As
for the sauce it was a bit on the light side, however, the toppings were about
right...not too many not too few. The pizza
was neither crisp nor bready, yet not soggy, so I think the crust is about
right for their style of pie. Since we
have 6 pizzas for 8 participant adults, some of us felt a little hungry afterwards...then
again that's what you get with thin crust sometimes. It would be nice if they offered a thick
style of crust. The topping
diversification was great...it reminded me a bit of Cibo Fusion's gourmet
pizzas. The Chicken Bianca came up as
the undisputed favorite of the group. Although
the price may be a little high, you should be comforted to know that you are supporting
a small, local business. These pizzas are
perfect for lunch, so if you are in the area stop by the New BO Market and try
one out. (My favorite was the Pesto,
oddly enough!) .
