I am going to mix the old with the present here. A year ago I visited this Pizzeria on February 11th 2012. I re-visited it on Sunday the 21st and again on Tuesday the 30th of April 2013. The pizzeria is located down-the-hill from my Internet Cafe.
Change IS the only constant and the ownership has changed hands.
The below photo looks down my Internet Cafe Street.
And this photo looks back up my Internet Cafe Street.
The below photo was taken February 11th 2012.
The building looks pretty much the same as last year.
Last year their sign featured WOOD OVEN PIZZAS.
Today's view looking in from the front door.
A close-up of the back of the restaurant.
If you turn 90 degrees left from the front door last year this is what you saw.
And today the same view. You can see my large hat and other items of mine on the front table to your left.
For some reason .. this wonderful sign has been taken down.
The below photo from last year looks back towards the main entrance door.
Today's view looking towards the front door.
In the photo above you can see my table this year. It is to the right of the main entrance doorway above. Today looking back across the room from my chair at the above table beside the main entry doorway.
Below are two photos from last year of the wood burning pizza oven. IF you have never had a wood oven pizza .. you have missed one of the great treats of a pizza lover.
And today the wood oven has not changed.
Last year's pizza photographed better and was a better pizza.
But in all fairness to today's pizza which I show two photos below .. I prefer a well done pizza with a dark almost burned crust. Odd .. I like my toast dark to the point of being charred.
The below photo was a 'flash photo'.
I slipped back Tuesday the 30th to revisit this special pizzeria.
This was cheese and tomato with green olives. It was very good.
What this year's experience lacked was the below man who baked the pizza last year. Last year's PROUD cook had a book for pizza lovers such as myself to lovingly sign.

Try as I might .. for some reason .. I could NOT get the pizza I had on Sunday .. April the 21st to photograph as-good-as-it-tasted!

It was because of the above gentleman and his pride that I was 'drawn' to re-visit the pizzeria. Yes! I am happy to state the book is still here and I looked up my entry from February 11, 2012!
Thanks for sharing with me this sentimental return to this still-very-special place.
Much Joy .. Cap
