I'll admit... I'm a pizza snob, 100%. So, for this place to get five stars is definitely saying something. I tried this place with a friend on a whim. Someone we had met had recommended it and we were looking to grab a bite before hitting the town for a bit. We went in and I appreciated the small menu. Small menus are my favorite because it makes me feel like the restaurant really knows what they do well and focus on that, rather than offering pages of options. We settled for the beet salad and the pizza bolognese. I don't love beets, but my best friend does so I settled for her. She LOVED it. And when I say loved it, I mean she has dreams about this salad.
Now, the pizza bolognese sent me to heaven and back again. Normally I don't go for what we on the east coast call "specialty pizzas" that have the works on them. Being a Jersey girl through and through a plain pie with a nice, crispy crust is a dream. So I went with what was closest to a plain pie and that's the pizza bolognese. Instead of regular tomato sauce, the crust is covered with meat sauce. Well, I was amazed that something could be so good. I didn't even want to go out anymore! I would have sat there and eaten this pizza all night if this were an option, sadly they were closing since we got there so late. There is no other way to describe this pizza other than to use the word "perfect." It makes me extremely nervous that I will be living extremely close to Settebello in my new apartment. I will definitely have to practice will power and stop myself from ordering this pizza every night.
