Putting the 'search for a good taco' on the back burner we headed out Thursday evening on a 'search for good pizza by the slice.' After accomplishing the 'find a parking spot' task we walked a block or two in the cold and reminisced a bit about the 'old' Dinkytown. Turning north on 4th Street, being under dressed for the cold, we eyeballed Mesa Pizza. Their other location is in Uptown. The Dinkytown location has been their since 2006 so a decade has passed since we wandered around. The neighborhood has evolved but Vescio's and Al's Breakfast appear unchanged.
The choices were plentiful and we settled on three slices, a feta cheese and arugula, chicken gyros and a BBQ pork with pickles. All were picked from the display case, warmed up in about five minutes and ready to eat. All were good but we found the feta cheese and arugula the 'top' of the three.No question about it, it's 'campus pizza joint' decor with limited and well-used seating. Posters and bathroom graffiti reminded us of the importance of fresh thinking, involvement, the arts and expression...it's easy to slip away from that. This was a good reminder and a successful search. We'll head back there again!!!!
