tried out Nana’s pizza in Everett on Saturday. It was OK, but unspectacular. Good crispy crust on the pizza, decent sauce, good balance on the toppings. Dough seemed a little uninspring though, not huge amounts of flavor and maybe lacking a little salt. Not bad, just not all that exciting–I had been hoping for a little better given the Ernesto’s association.
For dessert we drove over to Elm Street Bakery, which was really nice. It’s just a little bakery in a neighborhood in Everett near to the giant cemetery. Things here were really good–they have a full assortment of Italian cookies, cakes and assorted desserts. The lobster tail I had was really good if pre-filled (so are the cannoli) and the pistachio cookies were flavorful and not mega-sweet. The s.o. bought a whole box of various cookies for her parents, though I haven’t heard the reviews on those. This is a cool little location with really kind and helpful staff. Worth a stop if you’re in the area.
