Il Giardino del Poggetto was recommended to me by a friend, and I scoffed at his insistence that a pizzeria next to Flog could possibly be decent, let alone something to rave about. But maybe Fabio and I aren't the only people who know what we're talking about, when we're talking about pizza! The atmosphere is casual and the staff is fantastic at Poggetto. Our pizzas were taking a little longer than expected, and so they brought us out some salami and crostini on the house. The pizzas were small in circumference, but insanely dense. The crust was crunchy on the outside, but soft in the middle and had a great fresh flavor. I got the Delicata: sausage, mozzarella, stracchino, pieces of tomato and a drizzling of oil on top. All of the ingredients appeared to be of high quality; every bite was delicious, even if I wasn't able to finish it all! Fabio complained of the pizza being too thick, and I will admit that they probably could have rolled the dough out a bit more...But on the other hand, it was also refreshing to finally eat a DIFFERENT kind of pizza.

FABIO: 5/10
La mia paura, quando una pizzeria propone una pizza in stile napoli, è che sia equivocata la parola "alta", perchè non si deve intendere in modo letterale. La vera pizza napoletana ha una base normale e la crosta che sembra alta, ma è gonfia, rotondeggiante, leggera. E invece in questa pizzeria hanno equivocato: ti presentano un mattone con la base alta tipo 1 cm e la crosta che sembra il cantuccio del pane. Di solito la pizza napoletana si distingue anche per la qualità degli ingredienti: qui invece una discreta mozzarella è affogata in una salsa di pomodoro agrodolce. Più che una pizza sembra una caricatura, un fumetto, una rappresentazione dadaista, un qualcosa che ho digerito a fatica.
