I enjoy the concept of gourmet pizza – especially when it tastes good! I went to Pizza by Elizabeths with two friends and enjoyed the Field Greens With Curried Pecans salad and The Ashley – fresh tomatoes, brie, olive oil, garlic, basil, and locatelli romano cheese. There were so many choices for pizza, that it was hard to decide, but I chose this mostly because I’ve never had brie on a pizza before!
The salad was pretty delicious and they give you the dressing on the side, so no worries about it being overdressed. I enjoyed with the raspberry vinaigrette, which was kind of thick. It was still good, but not the same style of vinagrettes that I have seen at other restaurants. The pizza was more garlicky than I expected, but not overpowering. It was good, but not great – I was also a little disappointed because one of the four slices had almost no toppings on it – just the honey wheat crust. By the way, the wheat crust is very tasty and does not detract from the taste of the pizza.
My friends were from out of town and one had leftovers that I had the opportunity to much on. She had ordered the White pizza – creamy alfredo sauce topped with mozzarella and Monterey jack, sautéed spinach, artichokes, and chopped fresh tomatoes. I can’t speak for what it tasted like fresh off the brick oven, but as leftovers it was okay. I do not like artichokes, so I removed those. The sautéed spinach seemed pretty dry. The cheese was a good part of it though!
I will definitely enjoy Pizza by Elizabeths again and keep on trying different combinations of pizza!
