Q: This review is not about the quality of food, as you will see, I did not have an opportunity to try it. This is from Wednesday, July 23rd. I came across Noca on the NewTimes website listing them as one of the best pizzerias in the city. Intrigued, I looked online and found they were open. I was excited to take my girlfriend out for a nice dinner, we had not had the chance to do this in a while due to the hectic schedule we both work under. So, after driving down the road (incidentally, I live just a few minutes away), parking in the overcrowded lot and walking up to the door, I discover a paper sign posted on the door stating they are closed for dinner for the month of July.....What? First of all, I have never heard of a restaurant that shuts down for only ONE shift for any period of time, let alone a full month. Second, this is not posted anywhere on their website, leading to, I'm sure, many potential customers such as myself to drive over and be turned away by a paper sign. This lacks professionalism and just exudes arrogance. Maybe you do have a great pizza. Maybe you are one of the best in the area, but I wouldn't know. I understand that maybe the lunch crowd is their money maker, but who leaves a paper note on the door to tell their customers they are closed for dinner for a full month? Post something online, change your hours listed on your yelp page, do something. So, I instead went to Federal Pizza on Central just North of Camelback, and they were amazing. Even for dinner rush, the wait was no longer than 10 minutes, the pizza was amazing to say the least, and the service was fantastic. Maybe it seemed so much better because of the disappointment I felt at Noca, but they definitely exceeded my expectations. I won't be going to Noca any time in the near future.

Q: I've eaten here twice and both times the food was much too salty for my taste.

A: negative

Q: The owner and his wife are delightful and very helpful. They can provide literature that helps increase your understanding of various supplements and conditions. The prices seem reasonable and the selection is impressive!

Q: I was excited to try BJ's since I've had some positive experiences with Brewery's in the past few months. However, I left unimpressed. I can't say the food was bad, but it wasn't remarkable. I had the burger, which was okay, but very greasy. My wife had one of the pizzas that had what appeared to be canned or stewed tomatoes on it which she thought were rather bland and tasteless. I wasn't able to sample any of the brew selections due to constraints of the diet, but my wife did have a pint of their featured ale and she said it was really good. The service was decent, and there was about a 15 minute wait to get seated. All in all, I don't think I'd go back and so I'm filing this one under, "been there, done that...You can keep the tee shirt."
