Revised opinion on pizza (and Bengal Cats)

I know I stated that Pizza by Marco (and Bengal cats) were the shiz a while back chiggity check it out, but I have officially changed my mind (only on the Pizza by Marco part though). Last night, me and my fellow chunky chump tried Il Cane Rosso in Deep Ellum. Normally I don't venture out into these parts--a pretty gal like me shouldn't be meandering in the dark alleys that compose this area o' town. (I actually have never been to Deep Ellum/West End unless I was eating at Spaghetti Warehouse, so don't take my work on this description).

Anyways...we were able to snag a parking spot outside of Twisted Root (right across the street) at a parking meter, and KP had 37$ in nickles, so we managed to book about 3.5 hrs on the meter, just in case. We got seated immediately (it was only 6:30), and the menu anxiety started. Not only are there a million options, but KP was sitting in a booth that was 8 inches above my seat, so I was somewhat terrified of the BFG that I would be sharing a meal with. Turns out, we are an excellent pair--I am sweet and nice like Ms. Honey and she is strong and domineering like Mrs. Trunchbull (whatup Matilda throwback).

We decided on the Misto salad (simple mixed greens w/ balsamic vinaigrette). The waitress told us a salad and ONE pizza would be PLENTY, so naturally my fat ass orders a salad and two pizzas, and a bottle of vino. We got the Luana (2 meats, shrooms and basil) and the prosciutto and arugula pizza. Both were delicious...surprisingly I liked the one with LESS MEAT better, who am I? So we weren't all that embarrassed that we almost dominated both pizza's until four boys from college/high school walked in and caught us. There is nothing more shameful than two fatties getting caught in the act (we even ate more after they walked away.)

So, back to Bengals. I know I said Pizza by Marco and Bengal cats are the shit, but I lied. Bengal cats and cane rosso are the shit. I want to die and come back as a brick in their pizza oven (partially b/c the food is so legit, but also, think about how many toppings, aka meat, drop onto the bricks...) My ultimate fantasy would be to eat some Cane Rosso 'Za in my bed, with my Bengal cat next to me and Matilda playing on repeat on TBS.

The pizza is legit, the service is great. I would totally recommend it to anyone. If anyone wants to try and be my friend, woo me, or be on the blog, I DARE you to find a better restaurant than this.
