Colonel Hathi's Pizza Outpost sur Chessy

17/09/2024: Inaspettatamente vera pizza napoletana! Veramente molto buona, poco da aggiungere. Bella carica, ottimi prodotti! Locale piccolino con posti pochi a sedere (soprattutto nel periodo fresco dove non possono essere messi tavoli all'esterno), consigliata la prenotazione o difficile trovare posto. Consigliato!

15/09/2024: With reservations made with a phone call placed as soon as they opened for dinner on Friday, we enjoyed stopped by on a Friday evening for dinner. Street parking is hit or miss so it is best to drop off everyone at the front door and then have the driver look for a place to park. Reservations recommended as seating is limited and it stays full most of the night. With the wood-fired oven inside the restaurant, temperature gets quite warm inside so on a summer night, it is best to sit near the door. Although there was only one server, she did very well and and our food was delivered promptly and served hot. I ordered the Diavalo pizza with white (crème fraiche) sauce instead of red (tomato) sauce and it was very tasty with spicy Italian sausage with a crispy and very tasty crust; however, the crust in the middle was too soft which is where all the juices pool up creating a soft spot in the crust. They do have spicy olive oil available in little packets on the table which I found to be tasty with just enough kick. My wife's pizza came with half the crust burnt black but rather than wait another 20 mins to cook another pizza, she dove in any way. This is the place to come if you want the closest thing to authentic Pizza from Naples, Italy. Pizza is cooked in a wood fired stove with a delicious and chewy crust. For desert, I enjoyed the most delicious Italian pastry (sfogliatella) you can usually only find in Naples. We'll be back!
