Today is Pizza Friday. we had a very good 1st experience at the Milk Market, today return and try Bonanno Pizzeria. Service is welcoming. The pizza menu includes all the favorites: Margherita, Carbonara, Wild Mushroom, Prosciutto & Arugula, Sausage and Peppers, Carne and Pepperoni. Included is a gluten free offering.

Simply stated – can Bonanno make  a good pepperoni pizza. The answer is yes.

The pies are 12 inch thin crust and this one is perfectly cooked. the pizza has good base sauce, perfect amount of mozzarella and peperoni in every slice. architectural aesthetics for food kiosk and feels a niche carved out of the hall for the vendor. Retro music in the back ground is pleasant white noise – and is not to loud to block out conversation. My 3 dining criteria include: architectural aesthetics, background noise, and the food on the plate.

Bonanno Pizzeria rates 3 of 3 on Pizza Friday.
