My girlfriend and I stopped into Talula's after a day at the Jersey Shore. The first thing you notice when you walk in is the trendy atmosphere. They also have a tremendous classic rock selection playing in the background. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that Talula's has a fantastic vegan selection! I decided to start with the Savile Bourbon mixed drink. It had a nice herbal flavor to it and tasted great! My girlfriend tried the Gin and Jam which started with a zesty lemon taste that was instantly sweetened by the delicious jam. I am definitely trying a Mezcal flight next time we stop in. 

For pizza, I decided to try the sausage party and the Margie. My girlfriend went with the Temple V vegan pizza. All three pizzas came out very fast. The sausage party had amazing, fluffy crust that was charred and bubbly. The flavor of the spicy sausage in contrast to the sweet tomato sauce was to die for. The Margie had a delightful red sauce with salty, milky mozzarella cheese and flavorful basil. The Temple V was tremendous. The cashew ricotta stands out and the vegan pepperoni tastes like the real-deal. With all of the delicious toppings and flavors, you don't even notice it's vegan. For dessert, we split chocolate cake and ginger ice cream. The cake reminded me of ginger schnapps. It was very light and not overly sweet or rich. The ice cream added a nice spicy contrast to the cake. 
Talula's was truly an amazing experience and I cannot wait to return.

I stopped into Central Pizzeria at the end of a pizza crawl through Somerville. There is a decent amount of seating and the wall decorations are funny and entertaining. There wasn't much selection, but I went with a classic plain slice and a chicken parmesan slice. 
The chicken parm slice was okay. There was a mix of mozzarella and parmesan cheeses on the slice. The chicken was plain and the crust was generic and didn't stand out. The plain slice was slightly gummy and undercooked, but did have a nice mixed cheese flavor. The slice was a little light on sauce and overall wasn't much to brag about.
