But now in this moment of calm, and dark, and quiet, it's time to move to the really important subject at hand: the pizza face-off that has stimulated so much interest and comments among FROTB. Tonight it's all about MOMBO'S PIZZA.
I have to admit, I have a fondness for Mombo's for the simple fact that it's JUST REALLY ONLY ABOUT PIZZA. It's not fancy, in other words. (In fact, I WOULDN'T recommend eating
in.) And I like the fact that you can order by-the-slice. I like to try new things, and this is a great way to do so. Their pies come with a thin, oven-baked crust (you can get Sicilian Style, too) that holds the fresh ingredients perfectly. I'm a HUGE pesto fan, and I believe their PESTO PIZZA is some of the best pesto around, period. Some of my favorites in addition to the pesto are:

fresh tomato, fresh basil, and parmesan cheese
Mondo Mombo
ricotta cheese, Italian sausage, Bermuda onion, fresh garlic, and parmesan cheese
Again, Mombo's isn't fancy, the locations aren't much to look at, and here's another thing: this is greasy pizza. Stuff drips, you need napkins, etc. Now 
to a lot of people, that's a turn-off. I however, think that that's part of that allure. Pizza, especially pepperoni, SHOULD be greasy; it's part of the tactile fun of eating pizza.

1880 B Mendocino Ave, Santa Rosa (528-3278)
560 Gravenstein Highway North, Sebastopol (823-7492)
Check em out sometime.
Coming Thursday: Pizzio's

Gotta love Mombo's it's awesome. I just think Pizzio's edges it out slightly. One important point being size. Pizzio's makes a smaller pie, but probably weighs in as much as or more than Mombo's. However, Mombo's is a little pricier, and it doesn't stay well overnight (if you have any leftovers) due to the thinner crust which gets soggy. Pizzio's is drier, has just as much if not more flavor, and warms up well on a griddle or skillet the next day. Anyway, I love them both! What's great is when one place is closed, the other one is open, so you can have a great pie every night!
