Bonus Pizza Experience

This is a bonus experience and does not count in my 50 pizzas of 2016 because it is not in Columbus OH.  Instead we found ourselves dining out in in a Mexican restaurant in Phoenix Arizona and could not resist ordering - PIZZA - Mexican Pizza!

We were dining at Via Delasantos with Susan and Ken and Audrey.  Susan described this restaurant as a "little slice of Mexico" and maybe it is.  We were happy to sit outside in the bougainvillea lined patio  on a Sunday 85 degree day in February. Audrey described the restaurant as "Cas" - that is to say "Casual" and we all liked the friendliness of the staff where everything that was asked for was given the answer "Sure."

So, I ordered the Mexican pizza and with cheese, tomatoes and olives and requested that they leave off the beans and the answer was "Sure."  We ordered it at 12:04 and it came at 12:15 with the question "who ordered the cheese crisp"?  Another word for this tasty dish.



Everyone tried it and the unanimous opinion was that it was VERY good.  The base of the pizza was a tortilla and it came out sizzling hot.  Chuck said "MMM Good"  Ken said "That is really good." Susan said "You can make this at home."  And I don't remember what Audrey said.  Anyway, it was very good.

Before we went to this restaurant and at this restaurant there was a discussion by Susan and Ken about whether this was an authentic Mexican restaurant.  Surely they had soft Mexican music in the background, we enjoyed our Coronas (instead of my usual Bud Light) and there was even a Mexican picture in the ladies room.

However, Ken wisely wondered whether the food that was served here would be eaten in Mexico and I don't know that answer to that.  I only know that what I had was delicious and I would recommend it to anyone.
