Kim’s parents visited last weekend on their way back from Florida to Illinois. On Friday, we decided to try a new pizza place called Tomato Tomato. The pizzeria is just off the square on West Main St.
After a short wait, we were shown to our table. Tomato Tomato is not very big, so the tables tend to be a bit close. Even so, the atmosphere is comfortable and casual.
T.T. has several beers on draught, including a fishbowl mug of PBR for just $2.00. Kim’s Dad couldn’t resist and had to try one. As I looked around the restaurant, a lot of other people were taking advantage of the offer as well.
The pizza at T.T. is a bit different than other pizza places. Although they offer the traditional pies, they specialize in pizzas that are a bit more gourmet. For instance, they have a list of pizzas, each named after a nearby street, that include unusual ingredients or combinations of ingredients. We ended up ordering three different pizzas; a four cheese pie for Shelby and Lou, and then Kim, her parents and I ordered a College St. (four different types of mushrooms covered in bleu cheese) and a Vine St. (white pizza with EVOO, truffle oil, some sort of Italian cheese (whose name escapes me), and we added portabella mushrooms).
The four cheese pizza was excellent, with a thin, extremely tasty crust, excellent sauce, and a perfect blend of cheeses. The Vine St. was also very good. It had an excellent taste. The pie had a lot, but not too much, garlic, which really made it delicious. My favorite was the College St. The combination of a very good thin crust, excellent sauce, four different types of mushrooms, and plenty of cheese made the pizza a joy to eat.
We definitely enjoyed the pizza at Tomato Tomato. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, excellent service (Ted was our waiter and he did a great job), and wonderful, tasty pizzas. On a scale of 1 – 10, Tomato Tomato gets a 7.5.
