THE HOT LIST<br />
Eye on the Pie<br />
6 Best Pizzas compiled by STYLE STAFFERS // photos by DANTE FONTANA<br />
Want to know how we carb up at <strong>Style</strong>? It’s through pizza, of course! And although we belong to different<br />
pizza factions (yes-please pineapple vs. not-in-a-million-years pineapple) we’re all equally passionate<br />
about the perfect pie. Check out some of our favorites below. In no particular order...<br />
Pizza Bene!<br />
Sacramento Pizza Company<br />
Trademark Pizza<br />
Rosati's Authentic Chicago Pizza<br />
Wally's Pizza Bar<br />
Chicago Fire Pizza<br />
“The hefty Rosati’s Monster—<br />
available at Rosati’s Authentic<br />
Chicago Pizza—lurks in Roseville<br />
<strong>and</strong> is of the inviting <strong>and</strong> delicious<br />
type. This beast comes with a bevy<br />
of meats, including gourmet Italian<br />
sausage, pepperoni, Canadian<br />
bacon, <strong>and</strong> meatballs. You’ll also<br />
find a host of mushrooms, onions,<br />
green peppers, black <strong>and</strong> green<br />
olives, <strong>and</strong> tomatoes along with a<br />
(generous) sprinkle of bacon on top.<br />
I feel absolutely no shame eating<br />
it, since I get my fill of protein <strong>and</strong><br />
veggies. OK, maybe a little when I<br />
finish the whole thing by myself.”<br />

“When I want something a little<br />
fresh <strong>and</strong> less meaty, I often stop<br />
by Roseville’s Trademark Pizza<br />
Company to grab their sweet<br />
<strong>and</strong> savory Maui Kapaui.<br />
It’s the perfect pizza crust with<br />
red sauce, melty mozzarella <strong>and</strong><br />
provolone, smoked ham, pieces<br />
of pineapple that are expertly<br />
roasted, <strong>and</strong> the surprisingly<br />
fresh addition of chopped chives<br />
on top. Just FYI, they also have<br />
a dairy-free cheese option that<br />
my vegan bestie loves. We’re<br />
both happy campers here.”<br />

“Thin is in—as in thin<br />
crust—<strong>and</strong> Chicago Fire’s<br />
thin crust Pepperoni<br />
<strong>and</strong> Black Olive is<br />
always my go-to on pizza<br />
night. Even though their<br />
deep dish is to die for, this<br />
particular pie is equally<br />
satisfying with a lot less<br />
guilt. Plus, the crust is<br />
just there to transport all<br />
the good stuff on top!”<br />

“I love everything about<br />
Sacramento Pizza Company<br />
in Folsom—from the freshness<br />
of their ingredients to being<br />
able to participate in the pizzamaking<br />
process. Some might<br />
disagree, but I think T<strong>and</strong>oori<br />
Chicken belongs on pizza.<br />
Traditionally, it’s eaten with<br />
naan, but substitute that with<br />
pizza dough <strong>and</strong> you have the<br />
perfect pairing. Add pesto,<br />
mozzarella, red onions, cilantro,<br />
garlic, t<strong>and</strong>oori drizzle, <strong>and</strong><br />
fresh lemon juice, <strong>and</strong> you’ve<br />
got a globally inspired pizza<br />
that’s the perfect blend of two<br />
cuisines.” sacpizzaco.com<br />
“Pizza in Placerville has to be from<br />
Pizza Bene! I invariably order the<br />
Margherita Napoletana because<br />
it’s so darn good. This is the real deal,<br />
folks—complete with creamy chunks of<br />
fresh mozzarella (try it with their worldfamous<br />
mozzarella di bufala imported<br />
from Naples), ribbons of fragrantly fresh<br />
basil, quality-you-can-taste EVOO, <strong>and</strong><br />
their signature tomato sauce. To take<br />
things over the edge, their crust is made<br />
with Italian Caputo flour. It truly is Italy<br />
on a platter!” eatpizzabene.com<br />
“Wally’s Pizza Bar in Cameron<br />
Park has one of my favorite<br />
guilty pleasure pies: Pear<br />
& Gorgonzola. The sweet<br />
pears, tangy bite of gorgonzola,<br />
zesty garlic cream sauce, <strong>and</strong><br />
peppery arugula that’s tossed in<br />
balsamic vinaigrette is a match<br />
made in ingredient heaven! They<br />
also offer a gluten-free crust<br />
for those who are against the<br />
grain. Pair it with a craft brew,<br />
a game on the big screen, <strong>and</strong><br />
good conversation, <strong>and</strong> you have<br />
the recipe for mealtime success.”<br />
