Sammy's Woodfired Pizza

Dining Destination: First I'm so sorry I've been completely MIA! Well, not really I have been in San Diego wining and dining and have quite a few restaurants to post about, not to mention I have some new recipes!! So while in beautiful SD I got to dine on the best pizza in the area and I am telling you from the bottom of my heart it truly was the best pizza I have ever eaten. Honest to goodness I have been a pizza hut girl through and through but I am so over that! Sammy's Woodfired Pizza has converted me and I am positive I will be making many more trips west to visit:)

First we started with the Edamame-tossed in sesame with ponzu dipping sauce. I normally wouldn't get Edamame outside of a sushi joint because I think they go hand in hand however this has a very nice flavor and the sauce was delish {Ponzu basically means various citrus juice. The sour sauce made with citrus juice, soy sauce, vinegar, mirin, dashi stock.}

Then came the pizza and salad. The three of us chose the New York Style {homemade tomato sauce, with sauteed mushrooms, salami, pepperoni and Italian sausage}; the "small" Balsamic Grilled Chicken Salad-which was not small by any means {mixed greens, toasted walnuts, marinated chicken breast, Gorgonzola and balsamic basil dressing} it was seriously heaven and finally my pick was the Vegetarian Pizza + Pepperoni. I'm sorry but I can't allow the veggies to get all the good toppings! I often do this when it comes to sandwiches and pizzas because of the great array of vegetables then just add a protein:) The VP+P consisted of grilled eggplant, onions, zucchini, bell peppers, red onions, tomatoes, fontina, roasted garlic sauce and of course pepperoni! MMMM...doesn't it look tasty?!

Finally we finished the night with a really low fat, low cal dessert...NOT! Apparently they are known for this divine chocolate sundae called Messy Sundae {totally a registered name}. Vanilla ice cream, brownie, chocolate sauce, walnuts, more chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, whipped cream and more chocolate sauce! I hope you are understanding me=there was A LOT of chocolate sauce and considering I'm not usually a big fan of chocolate they did it right because I really really enjoyed this sinful concoction.
