Pazzo

I grew up in New Haven, Connecticut and am wild about New Haven pizza. They even serve Foxon Park soda at Pazzo--another New Haven staple. I was thrilled when I first heard that the restaurant was opening in San Carlos--even if I'm up in San Francisco. Pazzo's is the real deal. I've only gotten there once before today (and needed to reheat the pizza by the time I got home), but oh is the trip worth it!

We had the gnocchi, tomato box pizza and the clam pizza. Pizza crust was nice and a combination of chewy and flaky. The pizzas themselves were all right - nothing to write home about. This is take out only, so if you want to eat the pizza right off the oven, you will just have to stand in front and have your pizza. Overall better than mediocre pizza, but probably won't be back.

We went way out of our way to get out to San Bruno but I heard its worth the drive out of SF if you want delicious Italian food. Unexpectedly, the pizza was the best part of the meal. Word has it that the gnocchi is what they do best but I cannot stop raving about how great the pizza was. When they have a wood burning oven in the, get the pizza. Side note, the ceasar wasn't all that great the meatballs were awesome. Excellent starter dish.

The prawns were cooked perfectly and had an amazing taste paired with the polenta. The Cavatelli had a fantastic sauce and the braised pork wad incredibly tender. The highlight of the meal was the Bianca pizza, topped with a egg. The crust had the perfect amount of bitterness, and the delicious mushrooms gave a wonderful pizza it's signature taste. The egg kicked it up a notch and was perfect in the center. Finishing off the meal is the molten lava cake and tiramisu, both of which were delectable and a perfect way to finish off such an exquisite meal!
