Among the plethora of faux holidays celebrating food, there are many single days dedicated to run-of-the-mill eatables. But only a preeminent food like pizza warrants a whole month. And so we begin the devout observation of National Pizza Month. Accordingly, I had lunch with my lovely and talented wife yesterday at Vecchia Pizzeria and Mercato to kick of the month's festivities. Using ingredients and wood-fired ovens from Italy, Vecchio crafts authentic Neapolitan pizza. They've even been certified by VPN, and organization dedicated to regulating the traditional techniques of the first pizza style. In the spirit of authenticity, I ordered a margherita pizza, the original classic style (one that I also recently sampled at another pizzeria). The Vecchia pie had a light and crispy crust, flavorful sauce, and a healthy amount of mozzarella cheese. We enjoyed our meal with a Peroni beer from Italy, and sat outside in the beautiful streetside cafe setting. For those looking for pizza in the best Neapolitan tradition, one needs go no further than Vecchia.
