Cafe Ariana, Pacific Grove, Ca

6 Mar

I love the Little PG restaurants. this is a new installment by the owner of the Big Night Bistro. This little wine bar has fresh gelato, and some great little pizza’s all in the little cafe. It is a great spot to stop and have a glass of wine and some nibbles. The pizza is good, napoletana style, as much of a connoisseur as i am it inst anything to write home about, but it is good, just as good as the other pizza in town likely. Give it a shot, you will be glad you did…

Frank Pepe’s Pizza Napoletana – New Haven Connecticut

11 Oct

As many of my readers know, I am on the ultimate quest for the best pizza in the entire world.  One of the pizzerias that I have heard of time and time again as quite possibly the best, is Frank Pepe’s Pizza Napoletana in New Haven.  I finally made it to the east coast and there was no way I was going to be so close to this famed “Clam Pie” and not get my fair share.

As you can see from the photo’s I did make it, and did all the hype let me down??  Heck no.  This place was fantastic.  The salad was basic, the wine was cheap, but the pizza was world class.  The snap of the dough, the cheese, the sauce, the old school coal fired oven.  I am not sure what makes this so good, but this experience was religious.  I wish we had one of these in the central coast because I would be there every day! In the mean time I will just try to replicate that amazing clam pie with the fresh shucked little neck clams.
