When in the mood for pizza, we like to try small and local pizzerias. An electrician working on a few electrical issues in our condo last week suggested Bella Napoli Pizzeria. It's a very short drive west of our condo on King's Highway in Port Charlotte, so we tried it after the electrician finished his work. Turns out it was a good choice. Situated in a small shopping center, we might not have noticed this venue without the recommendation. Even at almost 7 pm, the restaurant was crowded and obviously popular. We chose a small table in the bar with a clear view of the pizza oven, pizza dough twirling in the air, and order after order passing over the counter to the wait staff. There's a brisk takeout business interspersed with the sit-down diners. The decor and energy swirling around us couldn't help but make one feel as though they were at a party.
There was thin crust, thick crust and very thick pan pizza to choose from which made the final choice difficult. Ultimately, we decided on thin crust and individual size pizzas with veggies on one and meat on the other. Both were good choices. Paired with a beer, this was pizza heaven. We'll go back there I'm sure to take a break from our low-carbohydrate diet that our doctors would prefer. After all, there are things in life that are just plain necessary. Pizza is one of them. But there are other Italian dishes also on the menu there. I suspect we'll find excuses to eat out there often so that we can work our way through the menu.
