September 8: Delfino's Chicago Style Pizza

Another food aspect that we heard a lot about before the move to Pioneer Square was the food trucks. They're in the park almost every day, and it's a rotating cycle of possibilities. In a bit of a rush today, I grabbed a pie from the Delfino's Chicago Style Pizza truck.

I'm not a fan of true Chicago pizza (noodle-less lasagna), nor of New York pizza (floppy undercooked messes), preferring the St. Louis style of Shakey's or Pietro's, but those are hard to find around here, and would never work out of a truck. Sometimes, the best pizza is the one you have in front of you, and today was no exception.

For a Chicago pizza, it was pretty good. The crust was flaky, almost like a pastry, and it held the solid pool of tomato paste within it. It wasn't so much a traditional pizza as much as it was a bread bowl filled with soup, if the bread bowl was buttery, croissant-like goodness and the soup is a cheezy, pepperoni-topped thick mass of perfectly seasoned tomato paste.

It's definitely worth having again.
