Denicola's Restaurant   

This warm and inviting family restaurant builds a fabulous pizza that will stuff you to the gills and leave you with enough pie left over to take home for breakfast the next morning. Even the thin crust is thick and chewy. Their small pizza is massive, easily feeding four people for reasonable price. The topping selections include all the usual options, but the Italian sausage and pepperoni are unforgettable: a perfect balance of crust, sauce, meat and cheese. DeNicola's does custom pizzas as well, and goes out of its way to accommodate vegetarians; a favorite combo is the Hawaiian without the ham -- pineapple and onion. They also feature excellent antipasto, spaghetti and meatballs, eggplant parmigiana and lasagna. Traditional and classic entrees include linguine, rigatoni, gnocchi, fettucine and an array of chicken dishes. A children's menu with soups, salads and pizza is available and adds to the child-friendly factor. -- Jo Ostgarden
