Taos Restaurants: Pizza Outback

Taos Pizza Outback (website)

What we had:

• Their white pizza with mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, ricotta and parmesan
• Cannoli

I don’t know what it is about this pizza, but I couldn’t stop eating. I definitely made myself sick. Since we didn’t have a microwave in our room, I knew the left overs would be cold, and that just wouldn’t do this pizza justice.

I’m a white pizza girl. Something about tomato sauce always makes me sick. I think it’s the acid. So, poor B always has to indulge me with the white pizzas. Outback has the most amazing dough. I can’t put my finger on what makes it so special, but here’s my best description: it’s flaky, crispy and soft all at once. It’s sprinkled with sesame seeds, which makes me think maybe there’s sesame oil in it. I don’t know what it is, but I’m determined to find out.

The cannoli was even superior. Usually cannoli is kind of “blah,” but these had a softer shell, and the cream was obviously fresh, or at least a better quality cream than I’m used to. So many thumbs up!
