Clear up Con-Fection at Pie-Fectionby Traveler Foodie

https://www.f acebook.com/pages/Pie-Fection/179239041846

Let me clear up some conf usion, if not only f or myself , but f or everyone else. This lit t le pizza place in a stripmall along Kirkman Rd. called Pie Fection, is still a pizza restaurant. The original owners sold it to a Brazilianowner and they still serve pizza. You didn’t know there were Italians in Brazil? Well recognize and comeagain.

We can all utter disappointment that this is an “Italian pizza” restaurant online and in most searches. Yes, Isee that. But remember this was an Italian pizza restaurant bef ore the new owner took it over. So yes, thereare f ragments of the old restaurant still online. Most of the social media sites remained the same. Therestaurant never changed name. For that matter not much of the restaurant changed.

There is still the varied options to build your own pizza. Choose a crust, sauce, and toppings. For those lessadventurous, choose f rom an already specif ied list. Salads, appetizers, and desserts are also right there.But those are all items you can f ind in any pizza restaurant. So what makes this place any dif f erent?Remember who are the new owners? Brazilians. I am sure all the other pizzas are made with the same loveand af f ection. But I am af ter the Brazilian ingredients.

The menu calls this Mozzarella and Chicken. That is just the beginning. The pizza maker starts with arustic dough, spreads a tomato base sauce, liberally scatters shredded mozzarella cheese, then piles onshredded seasoned chicken, literally squirts the thin creamy Brazilian cheese Catupiry, then tops it of f with agood helping of Brazilian sausage. I added the sausage. There is a certain magic with shredded chicken andcatupiry. The sausage added a nice balance of salty meatiness to the slice. The crust was light and thinallowing the toppings to shine. An amazing f eat.

Hot Garlic Teriyaki Wings – nicely charred with light undercoating of heat, sweet Teriyaki, and bold garlic.Not recommended if going on a date af terwards. Unless you have garlic f etishes, in that case load up.

Guarana Fountain Soda – Almost every place I’ve encountered Brazilian f ood Guarana soda in a canf ollows. Here they have it on the soda machine. Same nice f izz and sweetness.

Whatever Pie Fection inherited f rom it ’s previous owners I am sure thrives with it ’s customers. However, I amsure that the Brazilian side wins out. This restaurant does serve pizza. But I am willing to go out on a limband say try their Brazilian ingredients. I can’t wait to go back and try their sweet pizzas.
