Princeton NJ: Teresa's Caffe

On a recent trip, my colleague Andrea LaPaugh joined me to discuss the state of computing over a decent Italian meal. We went to Teresa's Caffe for their well-known pizza. Teresa's also has several neighborhood-style pizza outlets, but this is a fancier, sitdown restaurant with a more advanced style of pizza.

I started off with a salad just so I wouldn't feel too guilty. The pizzas, as you can see, are individually sized. This one, the Ortolana, had tomatoes, eggplant, spinach, zucchini, ricotta, mozzarella, garlic, and extra virgin olive oil. That's a pretty rich combination of vegetables. It provides not only flavor but also texture. The cheese was excellent---no Mafia cheese here. If I had to complain, I would say that the bottom of their crust could be just so slightly crispier. But I won't complain...
