Pino's Pizza al Centro


We are beyond excited. Our neighbors Kim & Tom - our lifesavers out here - took us downtown for dinner Friday night to celebrate Shawn's birthday. We started with drinks at Tom's brother BJ's house, then we all headed to Pino's for dinner. It's crazy - a local place that's only open weekdays from 10-2 and 5 - 8. Lots of good Italian food and quite possibly the BEST pizza I have ever had out west. I am a big fan of our local thin-crust brick oven place, but Pino's had that east coast flavor that is hard to find anywhere else. Haven't had their regular yet, but I'm sure it won't disappoint. Pino took good care of us (Tom & Kim lived nearby before moving to Verrado a few years ago) and we will definitely be back.

(Not Pino's but close...actually thin-crust at a local spot in our village of Castellina in Chianti, Italy, September 2006.)
