Mama Mia! Francesco’s Pizzeria

by Andrew Risch

Nov 17, 2017

If you’ve followed my blogs, you realize I rarely have anything negative to say about pizza. I can confirm every pizza place I visit I do indeed like, some more than others.

Recently, I thought I’d sampled all of the pizza in my area, but when I went to the post office at lunch last week to return a package, it turned out I was in the wrong location. However, the mishap led me to find Francesco’s Pizzeria. A wave of euphoria hit me. I had to stop; I had to sample.

I walked into Francesco’s expecting it to be empty simply because it was in an industrial park. I was mistaken. I walked into a packed dining room.

At the counter, I asked for two slices of the best pie, specifically, boardwalk pizza. The woman looked at me with her head cocked, “You mean Trenton-style?” I agreed with her and waited for my slices.

When I took my first bite, bliss. Sauce, cheese and crust, all in perfect harmony. I finished my slices and got one to go.

Needless to say, Francesco’s is my new favorite spot for pizza.

Explore Portugal on a Wine Tasting Tour with a Touch of History

All it takes is one glance at the grounds of Quinta Dona Maria, which includes a grand villa and surrounding gardens, to realize wine tasting in Portugal comes with a good dose of history. The vineyard is located in Estremoz, just northeast of the first-century Roman ruins found in Evora. In 1718 King João V built this estate for his lover, Dona Maria. When she died, the current owner’s ancestors purchased the land and have been making wine ever since. Taste the wine, which is terrific, especially the full-bodied red Dona Maria Grand Reserve. Then venture inside a building that stores large amphora vases, including one dating back to the 1200s.
