| - I haven't eaten within the restaurant or bar and have only ordered pizza for takeout - so this review applies to the pizza! I am the pizza snob, you know.
We had ordered from Bellisario's in the past, however, it had been a while and we couldn't remember if we liked it or not. OK - so maybe that should have been our first clue, but nevertheless, worth another shot.
We had a copy of the menu and noticed that they also have pan pizza. In the past, we had just ordered their regular "hand tossed". I'm more of a fan of pan pizza or a thicker crust. To me, most "hand tossed" pizzas are paper thin, greasy, and unremarkable.
The pan pizza isn't what you'd think of. I suppose we Americans are brainwashed into thinking pan pizza is one thing and one thing only. Bellisario's pan pizza isn't greasy and "fried" within the pan it bakes in because of all the oil. It's light and puffy, slightly sweet with a little crunch. It's not greasy at all, yet not dry or hard. It's reminiscent of what you'd make at home.
The sauce is smooth and mild, not overly spiced or acidic. Straight up decent pizza.
