Is There a Perfect Pizza?
Last night our quest to devour every local pie in the greater Sacramento area continued… This time somewhere very close to home, Matteos. I have to be honest that it doesn’t take much to impress my when it comes to pizza. I usually gravitate towards three things:
- thin crust
- not too cheesy
- minimal grease
Pools of grease on top of my slice is a complete pizza turnoff. Deep dish pizza is completely lost on me… see where I’m going with all this?
I went into dinner not expecting much because of the little feedback I had heard, it wasn’t positive. Although, they do have an interesting way of doing things - menus printed on paper, cheap napkins and a weird painting of a raccoon - I was pleasantly surprised. I REALLY liked my pizza. The flavor was great and it met all my criteria. The server was pleasant, the food came quickly and I even tried something… DIFFERENT. I unintentionally ordered polenta fries, they came out looking like this, but they were really yummy. Gold star for this place, I tried something new and I liked it? Crazy.
{I should also mention that my Mom said the wine list was extensive and quite affordable.}
