pizzeria tivoli

You know a restaurant is special when you see friends and neighbors dining there. At one point, our neighbor’s son even worked there.

The place in question is Pizzeria Tivoli, a family owned, restaurant specializing in serving hand-tossed Neapolitan-style pizza baked in a wood burning stove. Big Guy and I have our favorites, but when our friends come into the city, it is all about the pizza.

We opted to try three different pizzas during our last visit with salads and their antipasto platter. The platter was loaded with meats, cheeses, olives, roasted red peppers and their special bread which is baked to perfection laced with chucks of sea salt. I opted for the caprese salad made with roasted red peppers instead of the traditional tomatoes which is outstanding. Our friends split the Tivoli salad featuring red onions, feta, olives, and artichoke hearts.

The pizzas arrived and we were in special pizza heaven. We could not decide which of the three, the Tivoli, the Holly Hills, or the Bianca, to start our pizza-palooza! I am sure you can guess we tried all three with plenty of leftovers to enjoy the next day.

We cannot wait for our next visit, especially with our dear friends! It is guaranteed to be a great time!
