OPINION: Much More Than Pizza at Pleasant Pizza

Pleasant Pizza & Deli offers a large selection of both gourmet pizzas and sandwiches and wraps.

is inconspicuously tucked away in a plaza with Honey Farms, across the street from the . Sure, the pizza spot covers the basics found at most pizza joints, such as the spinach and feta calzone, meatball sub, meatlovers and veggie delight pizzas.

But Pleasant Pizza takes its cuisine several steps past the average buffalo wings. Mediterranean and hummus wraps, listed among an extensive gourmet sandwich selection, offer more healthy alternatives to a large pizza. An appetizer of grape leaves or a seafood salad and a generous helping of baklava for dessert put a refreshing twist on a routine pizza night.

The more than 15 varieties of gourmet pizzas offer a plethora of choices to satisfy most cravings. Try the new White Delight (sliced tomatoes, mushrooms and spinach crown white sauce and a blend of mozzarella and cheddar cheeses). The 10" small gourmet pizzas range in price from $7.25 - $8.50. And the large 16" pizzas range from $11.99 - $14.99. Although the crust was not overly impressive, the price is right and the overall taste is of fresh, quality ingredients.
