5 out of 5 stars

Dominic’s was just what the hungry work lunch crowd needed on a sunny Friday. Once we eyed the cheesy white pizza with ribbons of spinach and chunks of tomato, all three of us had to try a slice as part of the lunch special. Despite that already tasty combination of toppings, it was really the fresh garlic, mozzarella and feta which put it over the top for me. I also had a slice of pepperoni – the special was $6 or so for two slices and a soda. Both pieces of pizza were thin crust, with that nicely crunchy NY style pizza bottom, but the peices are flappy so you can fold them in half if you’d like. The sauce is pure tomato, not too sweet and not spicy. I wonder how they stack up to Fuhgeddaboudit Pizza, the new NY style place at Six Forks. We’ll see!

My only regret is perhaps not trying a cannoli. Oh and taking a tasty pic for you. Since the pizza had mostly vanished by the time I thought of it.

I had heard about Davinci’s on the chowhound messageboards so when it was also recommended by two colleagues I knew I had to make a trip. I finally got a chance to visit when Anna brought me last week. As soon as you walk in you can smell the vinegary olives and all the smells of a deli. The case on the left is filled with butchered meats and fresh sausages. The aisles have specialty Italian foods. I ordered a simple ham and provolone sandwich on ciabatta bread. The woman sliced my meat to order, whisper thin, and put my mustard on the top slice of bread and mayo on the bottom slice, assembling with care and wrapping it in paper. It was amazing.. the perfect sandwich completed with amazingly tender and crisp bread! And just think how good the real Italian sandwiches are up on the menu board! Next time I’d like to also pick up some bratwurst for hubby.
