| - I was pressed for time today so I ordered the Calzone (Pizza Fritti) to go. From the moment I opened the box, I could tell this calzone, was different from any other one that I have had in the past. Unlike other calzones that you get in other "pizza" restaurants, these are fried, instead of baked, using the same "certified authentic" dough used to make their wonderful pizzas. The result is a soft and chewy dough that holds the fillings in check, and is a delicacy all on it's own.
The calzone comes filled with salami, ricotta cheese, house-made mozzarella, and San Marzano tomatoes, all playing together in harmony as they dance across your palate. And although not listed on the menu, mine contained a few ripe olives which at first surprised me, but added a whole new complexity to the experience.
La Piazza Locale continues to impress me, and if YOU only remember one part of my review during YOUR visit, it is this: "Experience as written!" A lot of thought went into the items on the menu and they are beautifully crafted with flavors in perfect balance...Do not mess with perfection.
