Isola Pizza (was Chez Carl)

My wife and I were regulars at Chez Carl for many years. When the restaurant reopened after the pandemic, we were looking forward to dining out again. The first time we went back, to what was now Isola Pizza, we were, unfortunately, terribly disappointed by the quality of the pizzas. The taste was fine, although not the same as before, but the toppings had shrunk considerably. Not enough sauce, not enough cheese, not enough basil, not enough of anything and the edge of both pizzas was at least 2 inches of just baked dough. Aside from the lack of value for the price, a pizza that is too much dough and too little of anything else just doesn't make a satisfying meal. We went back a second time a week later, had the same experience and decided to call it quits.Last Sunday, with gusto for a pizza, we thought of Israel, one of the waiters at Isola (Chez Carl) who has been working there for many years and always took care of us with friendliness, warmth and efficiency. So we decided to give Isola another try and we are very happy we did. The Caesar salad we shared was delicious -fresh, crisp, with just the right amount of dressing (to our taste) and the Margherita and Rustica respectively were probably the best we have ever eaten there, including the Chez Carl years. We were impressed and decided to return last night. Same experience - delicious salad, fantastic pizzas - all at a decidedly fair price it should be noted, considering the overall expense of food in a time of high inflation.We asked Israel what had changed. He couldn't (or wouldn't, lol) tell us and ultimately it doesn't matter. If Isola maintains the quality we experienced at our last two outings, we're back on board!

Pizza taste was good.Good Service and Atmosphere.

Best pizza I ever had in my life. Romantic quiet place, nice decor, cozy and nice background music. Lots of parking. Staff is great. A great place for a date. A must go ?

A quaint pizzeria served by friendly waiters with above average food quality . Great if you live on Nun’s island

The food is delicious the service is the best the ambiance is great you dine under the outside umbrellas while eating a succulent burger.

Pizza is not very good.Crust is nice, though.

Impeccable service and very good food. Totally recommend

Don’t waste your money. Food came delivered in a flimsy container that was open, no closed bag. Called the restaurant, and they offered to replace the burger. Got home and the burger patty was not fully cooked. Not going back.

Had a nice dinner here. Food was amazing and so was the staff! Come for good vibes:)

Huge thank you to these guys. The service is undeniably great. Keep the staff you have because they are great.

Superbe expérience comme toujours Chez Carl! Merci pour le service et la nourriture exceptionnelle

Excellente cuisine, repas délicieux, service impeccable!

The pizza was thin crusted and the portion was generous (had the margherita), Pasta was equally generous with plenty of very savoury sauce (we had both the gigi and bolognaise). To kick things off, we enjoyed a shared calamari appetizer. The service is all provided by a young friendly group of employees, making this a very pleasant evening. We sat outside on the terrasse that is sheltered from any passing traffic by a hedge and trees. It was busy while we we there and, while seemingly not required, a reservation may be a good idea.

Went since they re opened and the food and service was excellent. The pizza was amazing and the pasta as well. Will come back for sure.

Good good could be a little bettre
