Since the early days when I was planning what eventually became Tucos, I wanted to serve pizza. Since opening we've become more confident with our various doughs and thought we might have an interesting pizza dough. We made a few test batches and confirmed that we have a wonderful pizza dough. So what kind of pizza do we want to serve at Tucos? I didn't want the typical american style pizzas, instead I wanted the wonderful, artisan pizzas that I remember eating at the Hotel Tamanaco in Caracas, Venezuela. Thin, hand-made, fresh mozzarella, and sublime (technically these are neapolitan-style pizzas). A few places I frequent serve pizzas with fresh toppings, like arugula, that are tossed on after baking. I love this fresh, crunchy, cold contrasting with the hot strechy pizza. For ours at Tucos we decided to go one step further and serve a full salad, complete with salad dressing, on top of our pizzettas (small pizzas). The result- the best damn salad (and pizza) you've ever had. Two versions debut- Prosciutto, Arugula, and Nicoise Pizzetta and the Bacon, Spinach, Apple & Blue Cheese Pizzetta. You gotta check em out.
