Addison, TX
Back at the end of October, I traveled to Atlanta, GA for a work trip. If you remember, I took a late-night ride up north of the city to go to a pizza place on the list, O4W. It was only fair that when Eric went to Austin, TX for a work trip, he traveled up to try one of the pizza places on the list, too. The only difference was that his trip was a bit of a longer drive – a couple of hours.
Zoli’s NY Pizza is a new addition to the 2018 list, but I talked about it in this post. It wasn’t a huge surprise for us to see it on the list, as we had already heard good things about it. Whereas Cane Rosso is entirely authentic Neapolitan, Zoli’s is everything but. It sells square pies and round pies, as well as sandwiches, salads, and pastas.
We understood a few of the references on the pizza menu and thought they were very clever. For example, there is the “Pizza Loves Emily”, which is topped with honey and roasted mushrooms. There’s Bovino’s buffalo chicken, a nod to Arthur Bovino and his love of the city of Buffalo (and their pizza). Eric ended up ordering the “Lil Troy”, which was topped with mozzarella, vodka sauce, mini meatballs, straciatella, cherry peppers, and garlic breadcrumbs. He also ordered a “Spangler”, or a plain classic cheese round pie to bring home for me!
These pies were great, even when reheated the next day after a flight across the country. The square pie was thicker than a grandma slice, but thinner than a Sicilian. If you order this specific pie, be warned that the cherry peppers are HOT.
The cheese pizza also was good, topped with a sprinkling of fresh basil that would definitely have tasted better fresh, but wasn’t bad reheated.
Speaking of pizza reheating, we finally have come around to the fact that the best way to reheat pizza is on the stove. It definitely takes a little more time, but when your husband carries pizza in his carry on halfway across the US, it’s worth the extra few minutes.
