| - Holy majolies! Classic Italian Pizza is fantastico! I love it when, after living here most of my life, I discover a new-to-me gem that is tucked away in a strip mall. This one, particularly, is my favorite find yet this year!
I love a crispy thin crust brick-oven baked pizza. I am on the lookout for fresh products and the Sicilian style and I find this positively authentic! I showed this place my "O" face (as in oh my goodness)!! My friend and I walked in later on a Thursday night and found only a few tables occupied, so we stole a table on the patio (where they have heaters available) and ordered Tuscan vino de Montepulciano. I am impressed with the selections they have.
We were told that there is no extra charge to do half and half pizza selections, so we chose wisely: One all white pizza split with the Basil and Garlic on one side and the Four Cheeses on the other. Next, we chose half Diavola (with fresh Italian sausage and red peppers) and the other half Prosciutto with basil trimmings. I fully expected to be blown away by the Prosciutto and Diavola, which were fresh, and delicious and everything I hoped for-- HOWEVER, stop the presses! The four cheeses snuck up and stole the show! I can't even believe how tasty this pizza was. When my friend suggested it, I think I even made a disappointed face. No, this pizza is one of the most flavorful, savory and tasty pizzas I have sincerely ever had and my friend and I fought over the crumbs.
In relation to The Parlor and Pizzeria Bianco, I think those places are quality with fantastic locations and trendy atmospheres, which adds to their wait times and buzz. This place deserves no less ranting and raving, despite its traditional pizza joint atmosphere and strip mall location. It is worth it!
