Guy and the DDD crew visited this family owned and run pizzaria back in 2008. We have visited some DDD places years after Guy had been there only to discover fame went to their head and it was a dismal experience. Happily, that was not the case at La Piazza Al Forno. The service was fantastic and the food was even better!
We started with Bruschette - "Toasted bread topped with tomatoes, olive oil, garlic and fresh herbs" or "Heavenly Bread" as I called it! We used to think that an Italian place we frequented years ago in Calgary, Alberta, Canada had the best bruschetta we ever had but now that honor goes to La Piazza Al Forno. Unfortunately, we were so hungry and it looked so good that I completely forgot to take a photo.
Their pizzas are more personal size so we each got one. It should be no surprise that Richard got the Italian Stallion Meat Pie with four kinds of meat, San Marzano tomatoes and house made mozzarella cheese. It was quite delish! And I had the Dolce Diavolo ("Sweet Devil") with San Marzano tomatoes, house made mozzarella, sopressata (a kind of pepperoni), Calabrian chilis (a small red chili grown only in Calabria, Italy), basil and honey. It was like drinking a glass of really good wine - the flavors blend together yet each retains their uniqueness. No doubt about it, it is my all-time favorite pizza!
Delizioso!!!!!!
La Piazza Al Forno is just over 30 miles from our house - and well worth the drive! I can't wait to go back. Two thumbs up!!
