I've never taken the time or effort to add a review, however OVEN was so exceptionally bad that it couldn't pass without comment. I am a nearby resident and wanted to support the new, local business. The arugula salad was inedible - the lettuce seemed somewhat fresh but the dressing tasted like it was straight out of a pre-made, cafeteria bottle - definitely not fresh or tasty. Considering that a simple vinaigrette is a kitchen basic I should have known the main course could only get worse. The margarita pizza should have been fresh and simple since it's the most basic selection on the menu. The dough tasted like pretzel dough and I wondered if they'd bought a frozen pizza from a nearby grocer to heat up for me. The cheese was unidentifiable - mozzarella mix? It tasted cheap and processed and reminded me of school cafeteria food but worse. Such a let down - a local place that served fresh, tasty simple dishes would be a great thing for the neighborhood but OVEN is definitely not it. It was the worst food I've had in recent memory and I'm typically very forgiving of new places that have to work out the challenges of opening any restaurant. SIMPLY GROSS.
