Foodtopia Moments

 This post is kind of all about the pizza. Last night, I went to Ristorante Netti for the first time this year and ordered the Pizza Netti. The bake the pizza with only some buffalo mozzarella. When the crust is finished, thy take it out and top it with chopped pomodorini (cherry tomatoes), arugula, shavings of Grana Padano cheese, and top that with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of sea salt. The heat of the crust makes the tomatoes sweat just a little. It's a perfect combination. 

Walking around town this morning, I stopped at a different bakery for a piece of their Rustica pizza. It is essentially if someone made a stuffed pizza out of croissant layers with a small amount of mozzarella and a layer of proscuitto cotto (cooked ham). It's flakey, buttery, savory and a great mid morning breakfast after my walk.
