Tipsy Goat at Corner Grille

The Corner Grille has been around for years in Worcester and has been well known for its distinct thin crust pizza. If you are looking for a deep dish heavy pizza you would be best served going elsewhere or ordering something different like their fantastic wraps, salads, or prepared meals. If you appreciate a good thin crust pizza than Corner Grille will excite your palate. Corner Grille offers a fun casual atmosphere and serves up a great take out business. I always prefer to eat in at Corner Grille as the thin crust pizza in my opinion is best consumed straight from the oven.

After a quick look at the menu I decided to order The Tipsy Goat. The Tipsy Goat is a thin crust pizza with a leek sauce serving as its sauce instead of a red or white sauce. Topped with chicken, goat cheese, arugula, and prosciutto the TG has many of my favorite ingredients paired and balanced so that all they complimented each other and none overpowered the combination. The Corner Grille takes thin crust pizza to a whole new level, the pizzas are so thin that I have even heard the crust described as cracker like. The best description of the crust for me would be a large matza cracker like crust topped with perfectly paired toppings. Other pizza’s worth mentioning are the harvest moon pie and the chicken ceasar salad pie.

Corner Grille is the perfect combination of thin crust pizza’s, wraps, salads and desserts served in a friendly comfortable neighborhood setting. Every neighborhood should have a fun, comfortable, delicious place like the Corner Grille.
If you haven’t been the Corner Grille, their food, and the fun hip staff are definately worth visiting when your in the area.

Greek Pie from Corner Grille

Unassuming exterior. Small eat-in area inside. Two ceramic deer heads with stick antlers on the wall. And two red chalkboards boasting the fare in impressive chalk-script. None of this matters. The pizza is excellent. The quality and taste of every pizza on the menu cannot be praised enough. Most pizzas around are close to equal parts crust and topping. The Corner Grille does not follow this model, setting itself light-years higher in flavor than your usual pizza joint. The crust is extremely thin, and it serves its two purposes well. First, it is a means of getting the toppings of the pie to ones mouth. Secondly, it provides a textural crunch. I ordered the Greek Pie consisting of baby spinach, garlic, lemon, oregano, diced tomatoes, and cheese. It was a panic order, I’ll admit, as I could not decide which to try. I later learned that no matter which I had ordered I would have been thrilled. The Greek Pie was salty, crispy, garlicky goodness. There was not an overwhelming amount of spinach or garlic. Indeed, the pizza seemed to have the ideal quantity of all ingredients. The thin slices allowed me to consume several mouthfuls of not only my pie, but also slices from my neighbors and from the two extra pizzas that materialized next to our table. The staff was amazing and I could tell how much pride they take in their food. I cannot possibly recommend Corner Grille more, and look forward to returning again for their Chicken Caesar Salad Pie!
