Frankie & Augie'z Pizza

Steve's friend raved to him about a new ristorante & pizzeria in town. It's called Frankie and Augie'z. It's right near the Pork Store where I get nice raviolis sometimes. Anyway, we felt like we were cheating on Gigi's (our favorite pizzeria). And we were especially because the pizza slices, meatball calzone and pepperoni roll were, gasp, ok I won't say it but I'll say that they were definitely with a capital "D" - on par with Gigi's. The old man from there would probably get really upset if he knew we'd betrayed him.

The slice, not as thin as G's, and not quite that thin at all was great. It was crunchy, crispy and the dough had a good, pleasing strong flavor. The calzone. The meatballs are thicker and better quality. They're also substantially bigger. And Steve says this place uses the kinda mozzarella he likes. It's pretty gooey and thick'ish. Ya know how some pizza cheeses are too soft meaning not gooey. You don't get that satisfying pull. And they tend to be less flavorful as well. Except for a little salt, I thought the calzone was pretty darn good. And I took one bite of my pepperoni roll. (Cause I was stuffed - they have "heftier" slices.) It was good and used about the same amount of pepperoni G's uses. Their sauce. It's awesome. Steve says it tasted like ours. Now I don't know if ours is quite as good but let's use the phrase again, it's on par. How hope you have a positive pizza experience today. Eat Something Good!
