Dove Vivi - The Jesus Pizza

If this pizza were a professional "wrestler" it would spend no less than 20 minutes behind the curtain during its entrance while the arena filled with fake smoke and fanatic techno music pumped the crowd into a frenzy. Then when it finally emerged, 80,000 screaming fans would have a collective aneurism in the aura of its awesomeness.

In other words, I have a hard time expressing just how amazing the Pizza's at Dove Vivi really is. Their speciality is 12" pizzas on a cornmeal crust and despite their diminutive size, a single pie can EASILY feed three people. They usually have one or two specials and a few regular pies. The last time we were there we ordered one of each, my two favorites, the corn pizza with caramelized onions and the brie and grapes pizza with toasted pine nuts. While everything on the menu is always tasty, these two pies in particular offer a transcendental dining experience. They have a deep crust shell that allows for several layers of taste sensations and the topping combinations are creative and interesting. The pieces are so dense that it's difficult to get through more than two. I've eaten three pieces a couple of times but I'm not sure it was ever a good idea.

In addition to the pizzas we usually order the beet salad (amazing!) and sometimes a special salad as well. It's a nice way to warm up for the main course.

On a side note, I once bit down hard on a particularly tough piece of cornmeal while eating here and ended up cracking a filling in my tooth. I just had it fixed but if you exclude the $124 in dental work, Dove Vivi is very reasonably priced at $20/pie.
