Pizzeria 712
If you are looking for honest Italian in the middle of America you don’t have to look too much further than Pizzeria 712. This small establishment is not small on taste. In the style of a café this Italian nook has the authentic, bold flavors of the boot-shaped country. Two menus are provided: lunch and dinner.
The lunch menu includes green salads, Panini sandwiches, pizzas and other additions. How is this different from any other restaurant? The ingredients are fresh. The mozzarella is hand-pulled. The olive oil is high quality. Some pizzas include speck and cauliflower, while the Panini choices include braised beef and fresh pesto. The pizzas themselves are separated from the American classic. You will not find pepperoni here. Fresh basil, caramelized onions, house-made sausage, feta, ricotta, roasted corn, and more dot the thin-crust pizzas. The lunch desserts are always changing. Some days they are a creamy custard and others they are a fruit cups with biscuits.
Dinner kicks it up a notch to gnocchi with ricotta, pork belly, short ribs, lentils, and polenta. A simple green starter includes heirloom tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, and fresh basil with balsamic vinegar.
Pizza 712 offers reservations and intimate dining. The prices for these luxury items are fairly priced so they won’t break your wallet.
