Reilly and I went to Delancey's in Ballard last night for dinner. It's one of the wood fired oven pizza places on our list for awhile now but when we tried to go before there was a 2 hour wait. We arrived Thursday night just a little after they opened at 5:00 p.m. and were able to have the table of our choosing. Since it's been so nice in Seattle finally we grabbed a sidewalk table and enjoyed the sunshine.
So we ordered their Crimini and Romano Pizzas and they were on opposite ends of the spectrum in terms of flavor. The crimini was very mild and earthy and I actually added a little salt to bring out the flavor of the cheese a little bit more. And the Romano was so salty and spicy with the anchovies and chili oil.The crust of the pizza was perfect . Super light with a crunchy crust and not overly saturated or sloppy. Fairly easy to eat with fork or hands.
The toppings are done very lightly which I actually liked as well. They didn't have to overload it with cheese to make it yummy - though I could have used a couple more olives on the Romano. Overall, I think Delancey's crust with Via Tribunali's toppings would be perfect pizza!
We finished our dinner with dessert. They had strawberry rhubarb shortcake on the menu and when we see rhubarb we just can't refuse it. To our delight the shortcake was amazing! The rhubarb wasn't overly mush or sweet. The strawberries were added fresh so you could tell you were eating a strawberry. The marscapone was light and sweet but didn't overwhelm the other flavors. And the shortcake... oh the shortcake was like a snickerdoodle cookie made into a light and crunchy on the edges cake. Perfection!
