Varasano's

Flat, crispy pizza, flash baked for 3 minutes with a delicious sourdough crust that needs no dipping sauce to eat. That's the bottom line at Varasano's. We also just found out they started Sunday brunch, so we'll have to go back to review that as well. We decided to go around noon on a Sunday. We got seated immediately at a nice table on the patio.

We each started with their Spinach salad which has a raspberry balsamic dressing, candied pecans and gorgonzola cheese. All fresh and a perfectly balance of salty and sweet.

We decided to try two pizzas. This first one is their Nucci. It has Garlic, Olives & Emmenthaler finished with Arugula, Capicola & Herbs on top. Now it doesn't have any red sauce, but olive oil instead. It had great flavor and was easiest to eat once we folded in in half like the restaurant suggests.

And here is the Salumi. An assortment of Thinly Sliced Italian Cured Meats with Mozzarella, Tomato Sauce & Spiced Olives. Truly a man's pizza, so sinful but sooooo good.

We finished up with a mug of tiramisu. It was so rich and delicious. Just be careful! We both inhaled the cocoa powder on top and had coughing attacks!

This is a great spot to meet up with friends for a salad, sandwich, pizza or brunch. The atmosphere is relaxed and classy and the prices are very affordable. They have excellent thin oven fired pizza. Salute!
