| - Nelly Belly!
We first came across this place, as they had a food truck available downtown, by the "thisiscle" yoga event and Gay Games festivities. We saw the great looking pizzas, ran up to them, and exclaimed "wait, where are you located?!"
Nelly Belly is situated inside the Rocky River metropark. A little bit of a random location (I personally think they would be great along a strip in Lakewood or something of that sort), Nelly Belly boasts some great food.
They have all different types of food- sandwiches, piadinas, and pizzas, all made in a stone oven. That roped us in- being big pizza lovers, we ordered the margarita and the shroom carbonara. It was a solid pizza with four pieces- not too heavy, not too light, with a slightly chewy crust. I really liked it. The Margarita had just the right amount of mozzarela slices on it with grape tomatoes and tasty sauce. The shroom carbonara had mushrooms, bacon of some sort? and some sort of super cheesy cheese on top of it. Overall, they were great. I think the stone oven they bake their pizzas in is key to the overall taste.
So, if you're ever hiking around the Rocky River reservation, and want to stop in for a great tasting meal, give Nelly Belly a try. It's not one of those fancy places sometimes in parks (looks like it from the front), but once you try the food.... you'll like it immediately- and say, "that's my type of food." Go for a hike and try Nelly Belly sometime!
