It's Pazzia Time



Sometimes, you just have to get in the car and drive down to Pazzia, though you really should get there around 6PM when the street parking restrictions go off. The pizza is the best there is. Period.

Pazzia Pizza is in the Thin Crust Mode, very popular in Saint Plotniko, but unlike most other thin pizza emporia Pazzia is not the least bit hippified. This is crucially important. Thin crust pizza has to be perfect; the crust, though thin, must have heft and weight and not have the consistency of a matzo. The topping must never have even heard of artichoke hearts or feta cheese or pineapple or black olives or jalapenos or anything at all except mozzarella, sausage or mushrooms. The pizza chef cannot have tattoos or piercings, unless he was in the Italian Navy. He should be fat as the Vatican.



Pazzia makes a very good Ceasar Salad too, though maybe not as good as Serenata de Garibaldi in Stiletto City. Of course, Serenata is Mexican, and Cesar Salad is Mexican (which is why it is not weighted down there by an extra 'a'), so this makes sense. One pie for two, two Ceasars and two glasses of sangiovese makes for a delicious evening. Plus, you can call your friend Smiling Bill and he'll always order the bresaola.

That pizza looks good, but you are a bit limited on your toppings. Everything you listed as not belonging sounds like stuff that doesn't belong. But peppers, tomatoes, onions, and of all things, pepperoni certainly belong.

BTW I tried Ralph KNBR's place once and was disappointed. Just the picture of this looks better.
