| - So we're driving home from work today; ready to face the nasty rush hour traffic, when my husband tells me that there's a new place we have to try; Pizza A Metro. He's a fan of the New Times, and particularly loves to read Savage Love...Hmmm? He read a review on this relatively new restaurant which had very favorable comments. Anyway, we LOVE to eat and are willing to go anywhere for good food. Lucky for us, we work downtown and Pizza A Metro was within minutes. The question was "should we go home and eat Cocoa Pebbles for dinner or experience, what we would later that evening call "The Best" Italian restaurant in this city? The question; ridiculous; the choice was obvious.
First we entered the tiny strip mall just East of I-17 on Thomas where this teeny little restaurant sits. Seriously though, if you blink you might miss it, so keep your eyes peeled. The restaurant inside was really cute and super clean. The few tables in the place were granite...nice touch. Greeting us immediately was the owner, who was so welcoming and highly attentive.
We began our meal with complementary flat bread that was fresh from the brick oven with a side of eggplant componata as a spread. Both were so incredibly delicious, and truly set the tone for the rest of the meal that was to come. We had the Calamari Fritti appetizer which was accompanied with the most amazing marinara dipping sauce. My husband ordered a "small" pizza that's big enough for two people to share: a piping hot, beautiful wood fired pizza crust layered with red sauce, delicious, melty mozzarella, amazing sliced sausage and rapini. Needless to say, the pizza was out of this world!
Ok, so just when I thought it couldn't get any better, I tasted my eggplant Parmesan that came with a side of pasta with marinara . Honestly, this was sooo good that I thought I was going to cry. I can't even put into words how delicious this dish was. I really had to savor every bite and relish in the smooth eggplant that was covered with a blanket of mozzarella and divine marinara. It was just sinfully good.
This was truly a decadent feast with very reasonable prices. I even got to practice my Italian with the owner. If you haven't been, you must go and support this tiny restaurant. Other than it's weird location, I couldn't find anything wrong with Pizza A Metro, as everything was oh so right. Buon Apetito!!
