I was watching Chef's Table - Pizza the other night and thought it was time to try our local pizza restaurant. Aurora Pizza and pasta in Jennersville Village. Watching the program made the bar high as the pizzas on the show looked incredible. I never knew the best pizza in the US was served in Phoenix AZ. So, whilst not expecting the best pizza, i had hopes it would be tasty.
I found the website for the restaurant and was able to order online. I selected the Special Pizza, sausage, pepperoni, onions, olives, mushrooms and other vegetables just to balance it out and make it somewhat healthy. The website told me I could collect it at 7.00 pm and as the shop was only a few minutes drive I relaxed and got in the mood watching the show about pizzas.
Who knew that there was so much that goes into makeing the perfect pizza.
I went and collected my pizza and drove home, opening the box I was not disappointed by the look at all. I could tell the box was a little damp that the crust was not holding up to the vegetables which had been placed more in the middle.
Taste was good, it could have been cooked a little longer, but overall I gave it four out of five stars. As I said the crust was a little soft in the center from the vegetables. Will definitely try other pizzas, and my test for pizza quality included eating it cold the next day as well. It passed that test with a good flavour.
They also offer eat in, and the restaurant looked very nice. I did try a bottle of Portuguese style wine made in California which went with it perfectly, a mix of tempernillo and tortuga grapes I believe which I get from Nakedwines.com.
I do think if I had not been watching the program, my expectations might have been a little lower, but I also think it was the power of suggestion as to why I ended up eating pizza when the plan had been to have a salad.
We also have a local corner cafe, which I have yet to explore for breakfast one morning or lunch. So much to discover.
Oh and just for Nina Hollander, Broker here is a picture of Sylvester when he was in a good mood but looking mischevous.
