I finally made it over to Keste Pizzeria to try their neopolitan style pizza. The place was quiet (the night before the big snowstorm, so it seemed like people were staying home, even though the evening was relatively warm), and we were able to sit right away. The staff were all Italian, affable and warm. They also all had thick Italian accents that I found charming.
We tried three pizzas: funghi, capriciosa (ham, mushroom, olives, artichokes, tomato, pictured) and salsiccia e friarielli (sausage, brocolli rabe, smoked mozzarella). The crust was very fluffy, and the toppings were fresh and well balanced. All in all, a great pizza experience. I’ll definitely go back.
