| - This is honestly worth driving across town through rush hour traffic for. That's what I did today at least. We got there at around 4.30 on a Friday afternoon, drove through Madison on the beltline, then through downtown. What can I say, I'd do anything for their pizza!
Their pizza selections are so wonderfully creative, and you can taste how fresh and delightfully chewy their dough is. We shared the special small plate of the day (three cheese ravioli, with oyster mushrooms, amazing sauce and balsamic). For the pizza, my boyfriend and I each ordered a 12 inch pizza, the Forestiere, and the Jalapeño Assesino. We have extremely large appetites and have previously each finished a 12 inch before, but this time, we had to take two slices home (pizza for breakfast!!).
The Forestiere was SO GOOD. Wonderfully creamy, cheesy, bacon-ey - it's like the pizza of my dreams. The Jalapeño Assesino was also extremely good, albeit very spicy! It's spicy in the way that you can still taste all the flavors of the toppings, but definitely not for novice spice eaters!
We left the restaurant already dreaming about the food, and we've been raving about it all night! Service is really good, our waiter was friendly and very down to earth.
Note: get here early, it's a small-ish restaurant and I'm sure it fills up fast. Parking is also limited to street parking, and there are limited spots outside the restaurant. Should be plenty of spaces in the side streets within a couple of blocks though.
