I awoke this morning jonesing for some pizza. I usually order from Paesan's on Western Ave. in Guilderland, they do pretty solid product. I am usually a pizza minimalist, cheese and sauce suffice for me. However, this afternoon I spied two toppings on the menu that I thought would work together harmoniously. Bacon and Ricotta pizza sounded sublime to my somewhat beer addled mind (my wife would only let me get it on half). I heartily recommend this combination, it was thoroughly tasty in a greasy sort of way. Also, kudos to Paesan's for being very generous in their bacon distribution, there was just enough on the pie.
Doesn't it look like the bacon/ricotta side of the pizza is poised to invade and conquer the plain cheese side?
sounds yum, SexyBeast turned up his nose. doesn't like the texture. i might consider dating someone else.
ReplyDeleteI think I would like it as a white pizza...and add spinach..mmmm spinach, bacon and ricotta...
ReplyDeletellcwine - that also sounds divine!
ReplyDeletePaesan's on Western is lovely - they are always so generous with their toppings, and man this looks good!
has anyone tried the new Paesan's in Latham?
ReplyDeletewow. White pizza is my favorite, I can imagine it only gets better with bacon! I'm definitely going to have to try this.
ReplyDeleteI must say... have you ever tried Bella Pranzo on Western Ave? I think that they absolutely blow Paesan's out of the water! Only DiFazio in Troy (or perhaps the Fountain on New Scotland) can compare to me.
ReplyDeletePaesan's is a workhorse, but I am sort of sick of it after 6 years of meals from there any time the office orders out (at least once a week -- that's over 600 slices!). It is a romance that holds no more mystery.
ReplyDeleteBella Pranzo has some of the best crust in the area, it's soft and chewy and tasty. They do tend to aim low with their ingredients though.
I like Spinner's and Lou Bea's and the Tweetzza man is hell of good.
