Spataro, better known for fine dining overlooking Capitol Park, may have the contender for best pizza around, though many are unaware the restaurant even serves premium pizza – baked in a wood-burning oven, no less. Throw in Pizza Antica in Roseville, Pizza Bell in Elk Grove,Sacramento and any number of other favorite spots, and you have a culinary landscape that has changed considerably thanks to a seemingly simple dish that inspires deep passions among pizza aficionados. And there’s more to come. Dominick’s Italian Market & Deli in Granite Bay is opening a pizza place in Folsom. The Supper Club, the restaurant known for $85 fixed-price gourmet cuisine, is planning a pizzeria in Carmichael. Whether you like it thin, thick, Neapolitan, Californian, New York
Selland’s Market-Cafe in east or Chicago-style, round or square, loaded or minimalist, whole pie or by the slice, whether it’s from a chain or a mom-and-pop shop, there’s something for everyone, and much of it is top-notch,” the story said.
