| - The work of Picasso and Picazzo's have some things in common. They're both beautiful, and they're both very EXPENSIVE. (For a mere $26, you can own a large Margherita pizza.)
In an attempt to mix it up, we went with a medium Nonna's favorite ($17) and a large farmhouse salad ($15). The pizza was good, but not outstanding. Despite trying to avoid the Margherita, the fresh basil and tomatoes were the dominant flavor on this sauceless pizza. The cheese was generously applied on a thin, chewy crust that was fine, but lacked the crispness I like on the bottom of my pizza.
The salad was more the star of the meal. It was a very interesting mix of crunchy fresh vegetables (kale, cabbage, lettuce), roasted vegetables (brussel sprouts, cauliflower carrots), along with some dried cranberries and pumpkins seeds for more texture. The chevre cheese in the salad was LEGIT, providing my favorite bites of the meal by far. I hate an overdressed salad, but they went the other direction with this one. It was underdressed to the point of almost non-existent dressing flavor, and the red cabbage dominated the overall flavor of the salad.
The happy hour was decent, and it's a family restaurant ambience. I just can't get over the price. We could see the TVs in the bar playing $5.99 Domino's commercials as we ate our $50 meal. I'm more likely to buy a Warhol poster than another Picazzo.
