Ever since my local favorite pizza joint closes down this past summer, I've been looking around for a replacement. I never thought about Two Boots even though I walk past it all the time. So one day, Mr. M&P and I were really craving pizza. So we took the plunge and ordered a pie to share.
We looked over the menu and decided to get one of their specialty pies. We went with The Newman ($24 for large-18"). The pie came piping hot and smelled wonderful. The toppings were nicely placed throughout so each piece had some of the sopressata, sweet Italian sausage, and ricotta cheese. The pizza was really good. I enjoyed the quality of the ingredients and the amount that was given. It was a well thought out pizza pie.
And here's the upskirt. Nicely browned but no charring. It didn't matter though, the crust was very good. Crunchy on the outside but soft on the inside. It held up to the copious amounts of toppings.
We also ordered a chicken parmesan sandwich ($7.50) just to see how it would measure up with our favorite spot (Lazzara's). It looked decent enough with nice crusty bread, thinly pounded and breaded chicken cutlets, and marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese.
Here's a closer look at the layering. The sandwich tasted okay for me. It didn't impress me as much as the pizza did. But it was still tasty nonetheless. I wouldn't say no to it.
I really enjoyed Two Boots. It has definitely replaced by old favorite pizza joint. It is pricey but I think the quality speaks for itself.

ReplyDeletethe different "flavors" are really creative.
ReplyDeletethey even have one with alligator sausage.
the cornmeal crust is too domino's like-for me.
I haven't had a Two Boots slice in a while. Newman is tasty mailman shizz.
ReplyDeleteThat chicken parm doesn't look like much. Maybe more sauce & cheese.
