Of course, can't forget the pizza! Here in the Alexandria area, BJ's off Jackson Extension and Johnny's in Pineville offer pretty good pizza compared to the national brands.
But my new favorite spot - Wildwood Pizza - offers something totally unique. It's located in the center at the corner of Texas Street and Jackson, in the old location of Spirits (which moved to a larger building on Texas Street). Wildwood Pizza is a locally owned establishment that uses home-grown ingredients from area farmers and producers. The pizza comes in one size, 12 inches, for $8.50. You choose the sauce, meat and veggies to add from a plethora of choices (up to 4 meats/veggies at no extra cost). Our you can choose from the house specialities. The pizza is then baked in a brick oven, and delivered to your table.
The pizza was delicious, albeit just a tad overdone. Fresh, organic ingredients do make a difference!
Check out their website at www.wildwood-pizza.com. Based on the growing crowds at lunch, the word is out.
