| - I grew up believing with an almost holy resonance that pizza from that other guy down the street who shall not be named was the holy grail of all pizza, anywhere, ever. Now, I'm not saying that this pizza "beats" that pizza, because, let's be honest they are two very different styles. But, Zappitellis certainly is going to give the institution down the street a run for their money.
My beau, my mom, my stepdad and I went here for an Italian feast that truly reminded me of my time in Italy. The food seemed to never stop coming, and the portions were enormous. They brought out rolls and olive oil with seasalt for dipping and crunchy cheese bread. The pizza we ordered had a thin, crispy crust that was packed with fresh toppings and tangy sauce. They insisted we tried the meatballs, and brought out an order of their pasta with homemade vegan sauce for my vegetarian boyfriend and I, an order of pasta with meat sauce that they just wanted us to try and 4 gigantic homemade meatballs. We then went completely overboard and got an order of rolled eggplant.
The orders of food were all enormous, fresh and tasty. The service was kind, and the owner was incredibly proud and sweet. The space is small, but they are just getting started. A few less tables in the room would give a little more room to digest all that delicious food we just scarfed down. Remember what that other guy was in that tiny space too?
Bottom line: the food is amazing. And I can't wait to eat it again for lunch tomorrow.
