Despite having been to Pizza Lab at least once a week for the last couple of months, I've been slow…read moreto leave a review, mostly because I struggle to find the words to describe just how amazing this place is! I'm finally ready to give it a try, but know that the only real way to understand the magic of Il Maestro is to come visit me and we'll go here for dinner so you can experience it yourself.
The beer selection is great! They always have something that hits the spot for both me and my husband. I usually get a dunkleweisen and hubby goes with whatever IPA they have on draught, usually from CRAK, his favorite Italian brewery in Padua. They also have prosecco if all else fails.
If you want an antipasto, they have a small selection of fried items -- jalapeños, fries, potato wedges, etc. I know it sounds pretty pedestrian, but there's just something about fried food in Italy... We usually go with the patates con buccia. No matter what you decide for antipasti, be sure to save room for the main show... the pizza! Oh, the pizza!!
This is where my words start to fail me and I find myself incapable of forming complete sentences. So, let's just try this list form -- gooey, piping hot, wood fired, soft, pillowy, cheesy, heaven. That about covers it, I think. Their ingredients are top notch and so unique. Favorites include the cinghiale salami, black pig sausage, yellow tomato sauce and smoked burrata. Some pizzas even have "bordo ripeno," AKA stuffed crust, people! But let's be honest, you can't really go wrong with anything they're offering up here.
