Calzone With Meatballs And Garlic

New Jersey Tomato Pie

Margherita

Just a quick growl as I took the family to Tony’s in North Beach last night and found it to be just as good as my first two visits. This time, we tried the Calzone with Meatballs, Garlic, Mozzarella and Ricotta and we all loved it. The meatballs, which I raved about as a starter in my original review, work really well in the perfectly baked, golden crust. The only bummer was that the marinara sauce, served on the side for dipping, was cold. I’d rather that it was warm. Also new for us was the Sicilian Style Burratina di Margherita square pizza. It takes about fifteen minutes longer than the other pies because of its sheer massiveness. Soft and focaccia-like except for a perfectly crisped bottom, the Sicilian crust reconfirmed for me that the pizza bakers at Tony’s really “respect the craft.” It even says so on their t-shirts. I would’ve liked a tad more sauce on the Sicilian as I love Tony’s sauce. We ate the Sicilian leftovers cold for lunch today and it was perfect leftover pizza. And I wasn’t even hungover. Next time, I would get the Sicilian with some toppings as it has the heft to hold up some serious sausage, pepperoni or whatever your greasy deliciousness of choice is. However, my favorite continues to be the New Jersey Tomato Pie, just as good as my first go-around in March. I’m already plotting my next visit to sample more of Tony’s pizza.
