Awesome Italian food!

New posts
what a cute place! who is going to take me there?
We'll take you next week.

I agree with foodie -- we always loved Jordano's back when we used to go to Sandestin.

We rarely leave 30A, but we'll go anywhere for good Mexican food and good pizza or Italian food.

:floor:...BR, you are too sweet. That would be one heck of a detour!
 
I really like Fat Clemenza's but always forget that they're there. Their food is almost as good as my favorite's Sicilian's.

I agree that their pizza is good, but the last time I went I ordered the Prosciutto pizza (my 1st time ordering it)...I was expecting the topping to be the razor-thin-sliced prosciutto one gets at a decent deli. Instead, what I got was sliced "formed lunchmeat style ham" cut into pieces. :idontno: What's up with that? Is this what they normally use on their "Prosciutto" Pizza or are they cutting costs?

And it was delicious as always tonight. :wub:

Did it get the flavor of that other place out of your mouth?

Spicy Noodle does this too, I prefer my prosciutto thinly sliced and not chunked. Reminds me too much of that tub of ham on a salad bar.

This wasn't even "real Prosciutto" like this:

It was like the formed ham lunchmeat rolls that's sliced thin for sandwiches (like at Subway) and then cut in little pieces and sprinkled on top of the pizza. The kind of "ham" topping I would expect from Papa John's.

Like this:

If this rolled and sliced ham product is what they normally use on their Prosciutto pizza, they could get away with calling it such on the menu since "prosciutto" is Italian for ham--but I think that might be pushing the envelope just a bit and they just went down a notch in my book.

Please rest assured, my friend, that we use actual prosciutto. We have our own meat slicer and Am slices it himself. I asked him about it and he said he thinks he slices it thin but is also conscious of the fact that people want to taste the meat. He doesn't want folks to feel like he's being too skimpy!:biggrin:

Thin-sliced prosciutto is some gourmet-minded individuals idea of making ham uppity and charging an arm and a leg for it. Although the real thing is a wonderfully tasty product, it doesn't have to be thin. Proscioutto in Italy is just ham. Made deliciously in Italy of course, but just ham, and inexpensive.

Note: pepperoni is not pepperoni but rather salame or salame piccante. If you order pepporoni pizza in Italy you get pizza with bell peppers.
