4 reviews for Tortora's
Tortora's has pretty good pizza. I got the Chix Parm (GREAT!) and another friend had the 1 w/ Arugala.
The cheese sticks were a little lackluster, basically pizzacrust covered in cheese with hardly an effort made to turn them into sticks. Would have been nicer if they were served differently...and they skimped on the dipping sauce, giving a party of 3 only 1 teenie container..
But the pizza made up for the negatives.
I'd go again.
The Carlucci (gorgonzola & mozzarella cheese, cherry tomatoes, prosciutto slices, fresh basil & reduced balsamic & olive oil) was superb. Also, this place has, hands down, the best cheese bread in town. I love this place, just wish it wasn't so far out... Try it and see what "real" pizza tastes like.
To many wrongs about this place to go into detail so to keep it short , they have crappy service and crappy food, enough said.
Tortora's won second place in Italy for an international pizza competition, and it's apparent in the quality of their pizza. I've eaten their pizza countless times, and each time their reputation is reinforced.
When I go, a friend and I usually share a 12" pizza with pepperoni and sausage. The sausage on the pizza is amazing! It's not the ground-up little balls you'll usually find; it's actually sliced sausage that tastes very flavorful and delicious. I usually don't eat the crust of pizzas, but the quality of Tortora's ingredients demand you eat it until completion, and I'm only too happy to oblige.
This restaurant completely puts other pizza chains (Pizza Hut, Dominoes, etc) to shame. It's because of Tortora's that I now refer to these other pizza chains as "fast food." I still eat and like that kind of pizza, but Tortora's is a giant step above.
The atmosphere is casual, the service is excellent, and the tables are clean. The drive over Monte Sano to get there is definitely worth the trip for some of the best pizza you'll ever eat.
