Re: Those Trattoria pizza's

[PastorAsh]

Bellagio, and all others who've had a Trattoria pizza at the Playa Pesquero, I would go back to this resort just for these.
 
 Did anyone put that oil on the table on their pizza. Don't really know what it was, but it was a nice touch to the pizza.
 
 I really want another one...

PastorAsh what cheese did they use..?

Last night as I was in bed and at that stage where I was almost asleep, there came this voice from beside me saying...
 
 "oh, I want to go back to the Playa Pesquero for pizza...those pizzas were so awesome!"
 
 I have got to get this man back to Cuba!  I would try making the pizzas at home, but I know it wouldn't be the same!   :roll:

Pastor I tried the oil, not sure what it was but I'll try anything.     :D
 
 The pizza's were good there, but what was it that makes them so good?
 
 the crust?  the toppings?  the cheese?
 
 I don't know, but they were good.

:)  I don't want to get off track here but don't want to start another whole thread.  I noticed a prevalent "smell" in Cuba at the restaurants in the AI and outside as well.  It took me a good day to get used to it and  to look forward to a meal. Do they use a different Oil in all their cooking or what?  Did anyone else notice this?  To get back on track, we enjoyed the pizza at our resort as well and hope I can someday compare them Pastorash!  :D

What makes the pizza's so good...
 
 The obvious answer is that they were in Cuba, making all food good.
 
 Seriously though, one of the things I really liked about the pizzas is that you ordered them and they seemed to appear in front of you almost immediately, very little wait time.
 
 Dunno what cheese they used. I enjoyed the tortilla shell they used, never have that at home, and the different ingredients were cool as well.
 
 Tried most of them over the course of the week. I want another dozen!!

I remember when the good pastor sent me an email to tell me I must have lunch at La Trattoria and try their pizzas.
 
 At the time I wasn't really in to pizzas at all, but on about my fourth day I thought I'd take the good man's advice (seeing as all that he had told me beforehand about the PP I was finding to be correct) so I walked into La Trattoria for lunch.
 
 I was hooked - I never had a bad pizza there at all, they were fantastic (never used the oil though).   I'm pretty traditional so I just stuck to the 'Playa Pesquero' pizza which consisted of mushroom, shrimps, bacon and onion to which I sometimes asked them to add pineapple.
 
 I enjoyed my lunches there more than any other meal of the day.  They were JUST FANTASTIC.  I would return to the PP just to eat the pizzas - it may sound corny, but it's true.

I tried the pizza on my first day because of all the good things i had heard about it.  However, i was very very disappointed.  Maybe it was just a bad day, but i didn't go back.  Now the mystic chicken....  I had a lot of that.  Even had it delivered to my room late one night (ordered 2 large orders in fact)!

 The pizzas at the Melia in Cayo Santa Maria were poor, even the Sol's next door were better.
 
 The pizzas we are talking about at the PP are the 'real deal' the 'bees knees' the 'genuine article'.
 
 In other words they are good, very good.  Don't just take my word for it, ask   <img border="0" alt="[pastor]" title="" src="graemlins/pastor.gif" />  or even Heather.

Tuss,
 
 You were disappointed in the pizza and I was disappointed in the misty chicken.
 
 I had heard so much about this chicken and when it came it was about 6 Chicken nuggets and they were burnt and dry.     :(
 
 My daughter ordered them a couple of times and she said the same thing, they were bad.
 
 I guess it just depends on who is cooking on what day.

I took a very food-fussy 2 1/2year old to the PP, and though he ate very little except bacon and french fries, all week, those pizzas were going down, like there was no tomorrow!
 
 There is no higher praise, in my opinion!

That shows how subjective food can be.   Tuss didn't care for the pizza. I didn't go overboard on the Misty Chicken.
 
 I too had heard so much about this misty chicken but I think mine was slightly overcooked.   I took a few portions, with chips, up to the Sports Club one evening and I sat with the staff whilst we munched our way through it.   It was OK nothing special though - but the pizzas - to die for!!!

[bellagio]

Heather and I are in complete agreement, but she can type faster than me!!!
 
 I need a secretary - where's Millybess when I need her.

[Bulldog]

After all you words..I have to go to thePP just to try there pizza   :D  
 
 And Gambitt you are right   ;)
