Sezz Medi´

Brick oven behind bar of  Sezz Medi´restaurant.

 

A few months ago, when I met with Dan of Salt Shaker, on his visit to New York, we walked by a restaurant, which I’d passed a million times but never paid attention.   Years ago, it used to be the site of an Ethiopian restaurant.  When that establishment closed, the Italian restaurant, Sezz Medi´ sprang up in its place.   I never looked at the restaurant, although I noticed that it always seemed busy.

Dan told me about how they had really good pizza there.  Made in a wood-fired brick oven.  He told me a story about how the owners,  brought the bricks from Italy, piece by piece, in their luggage when they were unable to bring the oven as a whole into the country.

Intrigued, I tried Sezz Medi´‘s pizza a few weeks later.   I was pleasantly surprised with my pizza.  I’d ordered a Margherita pizza, made from tomato, mozzarella and basil and it was good.  Another time I went with a friend and ordered the Ortolana pizza, made with eggplant, peppers, zucchini, tomato and mozzarella.  This was also good.  They serve about 15 different types of pizzas and other Italian dishes.

Trying their pizza and dishes should keep me busy for a while.

    I think if the place has a brick oven the pizza will almost always be delicious :)

    I love the image of a brick-by-brick international pizza oven transport! I would love to find a good wood-fired pizza place in Denver! Love the new layout!

    You changed the layout! My dad, who lived in NY for five years in the Seventies, says the best place in the whole world to have pizza is NY! (He’s eaten pizza in Italy too!) :grin:

    Hi Paz! I’ve been so busy, and went to Paris recently so I haven’t have the chance to stop by. Love your new look! Hope all is well.

    Hey there, Kat: I think you’re right.

    Hi Sylvia: Thanks!

    Hi Kalyn: Love the story, too. ;-)

    Hi Dan: Thanks to you. ;-)

    Hi Simona: It was fun to discover an Italian-style pizza place.

    Hi Rebecca: Perhaps a a restaurant like this one will come to your neighborhood.

    Hi Sra: I agree with your Dad. There’s nothing like NYC pizza. Yum!

    Hi Lori Lynn: How exciting to visit Paris. I look forward to posts about your experience there.

    Thanks, everyone, for your comments about the new layout and thanks for stopping by.

    Hugs,
    Paz
