Best Pizza

Finding a great pizza wasn't even on our mind when we first visited Arturo Boada's Tanglewood-area restaurant. we expected good pasta from Boada (who was previously at Arturo's Uptown Italiano), and we expected his signature dish -- camarones henesy en hamaca -- to be smashing. But we were also wowed by two totally different pizzas: one a traditional margherita pizza with fine shreds of basil, creamy mozzarella and a chewy crust. The other was a pizza that's far more representative of Boada's style of Italian-Hispanic fusion cooking: carnitas with asadero cheese, a house-made fire-roasted salsa, chopped white onions and fresh cilantro. A squeeze of lime on top brings it all humming brightly together, and folding up a slice of the thin-crust pizza makes for the most interesting sensation of having a street taco and Italian pizza all in one.
