Simple, clean, great pizza. We had the large Margherita pizza and a small Bianca. The margherita, as prepared, was perfect. I broke up the fresh basil which complimented the cheese and sauce very well. While I added a small amount of grated cheese and pepper flakes to one slice I ate most of the pizza with no modifications. The slight garlic and oil flavors came through in a subtle well measured way. The Bianca pizza was good though it is not my style. My wife really liked it. The kids also loved the margherita and wanted more.
We have been to a few "handcrafted" pizza places in the are but none have really hit home for us until DeSano. Parking in Waverly is not great, but we arrived early enough to get a spot. We had no wait when we walked in. Service was helpful and friendly. There was ample seating and the tables did not feel cramped.
The food arrived after a few minutes. At first we were surprised not to have plates, but it works fine. The pizza crust was crispy and not easy for the kids to cut with the plastic knives. It took a bit of work to get smaller slices for them. No big deal in the end.
The food was great and we left with some leftovers. It is not often we leave a restaurant already talking about our next visit, but that is all we talked about for 5 mins after leaving DeSano. Delicious!
