First of all, the dough itself was the best, it's a real Italian pizza dough. It wasn't heavy and oily. Thin crust ????
We ordered three dishes.
Cheese bread was the best (it's a pizza, I was thinking it's bread sticks) anyway it was so yummy. Then margarita in the second place. Third place will go to the vegetarian pizza, it was a bit burnt.
I wanted to try the mushroom ravioli but unfortunately they were out of it, and will leave it for the next road trip.
