Prato

Shannon went to Pizzedelic with her and I was a little jealous. I was also hoping to try some good pizza because my Margherita was a little weird. So we went to Prato and I tried the bianca pizza to make up for it. Bianca is white in Italian, as far as I can tell, so it came with a cream sauce instead of tomato. The pizza came with a copious amount of bacon, onions and fresh rosemary. I added mozzarella.

The pizza was far too rich for me and I got really sick of bacon after a couple slices in. I really wish I had some marinara or something to dunk it in, because pieces were kind of dry. Shannon ordered the formaggio, which is not too different from the margherita, basically just tomato sauce and cheeses. The crust was pretty good, nice and flaky, but the pizza itself was kind of disappointing. The service and food really didn't match the decor of the place. The food was served on parchment lined baking sheets where fancy square plates seemed more appropriate, for example. This made it very easy to compare directly to my pizza however, since that's exactly how I had "plated" it. Kind of amusing really. They definitely won in terms of crust, but my tomato sauce blows theirs out of the water. So I just need to figure out how to make a better crust and fit a forno oven in my apartment.
