Mambo Italiano

It was my wife's birthday on Tuesday and we were supposed to go out for sushi to celebrate. In the end we decided to get get some good ol' pizza. We looked online on URBANSPOON and found 'Tomasso's Pizza & Subs' as a good "local". We called up a few other 'locals', and non of them deliver to our area (including Tomasso's), so in the end we decided to go to THEM. and boy, were we happy we did.


















we ordered a 14" "The carnivore" pizza, a "A succulent combination of pepperoni, sausage, meatball, and bacon", a small (it was NOT small) "Ricotta & Mozzarella Cheese CALZONE", and
two Cannoli.


















The pizza was an absolutely amazing, thin crust pie with just the right amount of toppings. My mom bakes the best pizzas at home, making everything from scratch and used to even have the pizza brick in the oven (she used it so much that it eventually cracked from the heat).


















We also used to occasionally make Calzones as well, but this Calzone was something different. It had that 'WOW' factor to it, and it came with a side of Marinara sauce that took it even further.


















I've always dreamed of trying 'Cannoli', but never had where to acquire the 'goods' from. These Cannoli are god's (or the atheist version of that) gift to the Italians and the world. There's a scene in the godfather (that was redone on "Anthony bourdain: no reservfations") when someone is taken to be executed and after he's been "taken care of" they say "leave the gun, take the Cannoli".



















I guess Sushi will have to wait till next time.
