This
restaurant is located in the heart of New Bo City Market. They are
open on Thursdays-Sundays. This location is where we once tried
Maggie's Pizza Farm, which has since moved down to Iowa City. Now it
is time to try Aroma's. Just like our previous attempt, you can eat
your meal out in the tables on the food court side of the NewBo city
market. During the week, the traffic is pretty light, but on the
weekend you might expect a wait. There are several other shops and
ethnic food you can also purchase. One of the rules I heard is that
you should buy from the local vendors. So in the case of the Salame
Picante, the meat was sourced from the small butcher next aisle over.

The Verdict
Sauce: The sauce
very light. This caused the pizza to be drier than normal.
Cheese: Light.
Crust: Had some
dried crispy ends, where other pizzas had bready crust rim's. Seemed
inconsistent due to the nature of the fire brick oven.
Toppings: The
toppings quantity was light.
Final
Comments/Considerations: I tended to prefer the basic pizza's. The
Bleu cheese was too overpowering, but some bites with the onion, made
it quite good. The prosciutto had a sweet and salty taste to the
pizza. This was the overwhelming crowd favorite. The hawaiian was
okay, could have used more pineapple and ham though. The salame
picante had unique flavors, which didn't mend as well with me
personally, but others seemed to enjoy it. Overall, this place is
okay to try, but you might want to look elsewhere if you are looking
to impress an out-of-towner.
