No wonder you've been wistfully reminiscing about vegan foccaccia. I’m so very sorry. No wonder you’ve been wistfully reminiscing about vegan foccaccia.

Absolutely tragic. Personally I'm pretty fond of Pizzicato for just everyday pizza, because they're patient with my endless specifications ("Pepperoni, with lots of mushrooms, some onion, fresh basil, light on the cheese, really crispy, and can you make the crust thinner than usual? Oh, and did I say lots of mushrooms? Do you have spinach? You do? OK, some of that, too.") If you haven't yet had the pizza at Cafe Castagna on SE Hawthorne, I highly recommend it . . . very simple, with an extremely thin cracker-crispy crust that stays cracklesome even for a long long time. Tragic. Absolutely tragic.

Their pizza is simple, not overly fussy, but flat-out fantastic. The sauce is just the right combination of tomato and herbs, the crust is super-thin on the bottom but full and crispy around the edges, and they're so busy that there's usually no possibility of old pizza. You're more likely to scald yourself on something that's only seen twelve seconds of air outside the oven than you are to eat congealed cheese. They don't deliver--but it's so good that you'll have no issue going to them, and if you're walking by and you're not at all hungry, you'll get a slice anyway because the smell makes it impossible to walk away from the place empty-handed.
