Pizza is one of those foods (should be a total food group) that comes with endless choices of toppings as well as an incredible choice for crust preparation. My husband and I are on a quest to try as many pizza/Italian restaurants as possible. I think pizza is on the top 5 list of comfort foods. And, with the endless combinations, it would be difficult to get bored!
We have added a new one to our list recently-"Twisted Italian". It is located on Happy Valley and Lake Pleasant in the Lake Pleasant Towne Center Shopping Center (near the Paradise Bakery). Pizza crust is more oblong in shape and thin, brushed with garlic infused olive oil. Suggested toppings are things like fresh made pizza sauce, roasted chicken and pesto, sausage, peppers, baby spinach. Reasonably priced for individual size pizza-$10-12. Beer steamed mussels, bruschetta, and fried calamari are a few appetizer choices. Entrees include things like chicken or eggplant parmesan, herb roasted salmon, classic pastas and even a sirloin pizzaiola. Service was excellent (we were there for a late lunch) and food came out quickly and hot. The Twisted Italian also serves beer and wine. I had their Twisted Red Zinfandel and it was superb, only $5. Cheesecake, Tiramisu and Cannoli topped the dessert list.
I would say the whole experience was well worth the trip, and would definitely go back to try it for dinner. Though I probably would not go late in the evening, the hours are M-F 11-Close, and Sat-Sun 12-Close.
Maybe next time I will try the Chicken Picatta, finished with white wine, lemon and butter. I'll let ya know how it goes!
