Natili's Pizza

Tonight we met up with some friends, Al from Catholic Charities, his wife and son, at Natili's new pizza restaurant in Butler.  The margherita pizza with giant tomato slices and just the right amount of fresh basil was divine.  The crust was remarkable: doughy, soft, light, and thick but not heavy or greasy.  I had a few bites of the boys' pepperoni pizza, and the sauce had a great flavor.  Natili's opened this third location earlier this year.  The owner uses his Italian grandmother's recipes.  He was in the pizza shop while we were there, came to our table, and inspected the bottom (yes the bottom!) of our crust to make sure it was just right.  We insisted that it was.  He eyed the boys' pizza and thought the crust looked a little thin.  You have to appreciate a man who demands excellence!  :)  Although Butler is pretty far away (or does it just seem far?!) Natili's pizza is worth the drive.
