Every time we dine at Campania, 800 North Main
2nd Bite
Street, Alpharetta, 770-559-4674, http://www.campaniaga.com/, I’m impressed all over again. Perfect crust, top shelf ingredients and a great overall Neapolitan pizza – perfect. The crust is blackened and crispy, yet still retains a strong element of chew. I promise you I could eat that thing with no toppings at all! The Oracle chose the Napoletano panino, a sandwich stuffed with Calabrese salami, provolone, chili pepper, and extra-virgin olive.
Napoletano Panino. The Oracle Chooses Wisely….
If I ever opt out of pizza (not likely), I would definitely have that. First, they make the bread on the spot. It resembles a pita, but is actually a puffed up pizza dough cut into a pocket bread. Fantastic. Then they stuff it really full and serve it hot from the oven on an artfully presented plate. The photo doesn’t do the sandwich justice as The Oracle obviously dropped out of the Robert Mapplethorpe Academy of food photography. I think they both have the type of strong artistic temperament that makes it impossible to collaborate. Ask him for a sandwich picture and he focuses on his obsession, salad. Amateur.
Salsiccia. Meaty!
Campania is a hidden gem in Alpharetta that is every bit the peer of the more heralded in town Neapolitan pizza joints you’ve heard so much about. If you’ve not been, you need to go. Take it from me, the AFB! -afb
