> Two weeks ago, I promised a review of Ferragamo's, the new pizza
> place in Solano Mall. We have been there twice now and have tried
> four different pizza's. All were great. The oven is wood fired.The
> crust is a good combo of crunchy and chewy. If you like it more on
> the crunchy side, be sure to tell them so (ask for cooked longer).
> The sauce is the best I've had outside of Italy (read "not over-
> salted or heavily herbed). They make pizzas without as well as with
> cheese. So far we have tried a four cheese pizza which actually had
> five, a pizza carcereta, (tomato sauce, basil and fresh mozzarella
> with one side of the crust folded over a respectable pile of ricotta,
> a pizza putanesca with tomato sauce, capers, anchovies, garlic and
> calamata olives -- no cheese, and a pizza luna rossa with smoked
> salmon, chopped tomatoes, mascarpone cheese, and arugula. Even the
> luna rossa, which was a risk, was good. Pizzas look to be about 12"

> eggplant. Guess somebody messed up the grocery list. The guy who runs

> slightly over -the-top you'd expect in a New Jersey (and often in an
> Italian) pizzeria. However, the place is too empty. Please. Go there.
> Even if you only get take out. I would like to keep them around. See
> you Friday. I'll bring the menu.
