pizzetta: The Other Mystic Pizza

Image
pizzetta pizza: it's all about the crust. Louie and Mark Esposito had raved long and hard about a pizzeria in Mystic, Connecticut. They were so persistent about how good the pizza was, I listed pizzetta on the Best Pizza in Connecticut page . Here is what Louie said about the pizza: "thin crispy crunchy and the combination of toppings are mouth watering delectable. The first bite literally stopped me in my tracks.

Let me explain... As you may know, I was schedule for the The Slice of Brooklyn Pizza Tour . I had reserved my tickets way in advance. I paid on line. I had printed up my e-ticket.

Emphasis is on the word was... I just got a call from Tony Miua , the host and creator of the Brooklyn Pizza Tour .
