Recreating the "Famous Mauro's" Pizza

When we lived in Monterey, California, we ordered

pizza at least once a week from a place called La Piccola Casa.

Their Famous Mauro's pizza was our favorite. We liked it that much

that we would order two of them. There are a lot of things we miss about

beautiful Monterey and the surrounding towns, such as Carmel-by-the-Sea.

Anyway, last week I tried to recreate the Famous Mauro's pizza.

It wasn't the same, but close and it brought back a lot of good memories.
Every now and then, and since the hubby and I first met, we have been making
our own pizza. Unless of course, we live around the corner from La Piccola Casa.
We always use this pizza dough and sauce recipe from Food & Wine.

So if you visit Monterey go to La Piccola Casa in Pacific Grove and try

the Famous Mauro's. If you visit Carmel, go to Carmel Belle for Sunday Brunch.

The atmosphere is so relaxed and dog-friendly. You won't be disappointed. 

Our next visit will be next May when we go pick up Marley.

Happy Tuesday!
