VITO'S PIZZA KITCHEN - TUCSON, AZ

Great find! The color theme is black and white checked and diamonds and other geometric shapes. Lots of tables (most pretty close together) in the front and then the ordering counter towards the back. They also have a few of those high tables with stools that are really uncomfortable and are quite a ways off the ground so you have to ferret around for a comfy place for your feet and legs and the truth is that no position feels natural and pleasant for me. I end up twisting my legs and cutting off the blood supply plus i always feel like i'll take a nosedive off the Charles Dickensian stool as i reach for my food.

In addition to pizza (which is what Jean and Tim had and it looked really good - crust-wise though the toppings didn't seem like they were put on with a generous hand), they have sandwiches, salads and 3 pasta dishes.

Bill and I shared an antipasto salad with Italian dressing. Loads of romaine lettuce (i could smell the faint whiff of packaged lettuce) with olives, salami, pepperoni, green pepper and mozzarella cheese. It was very fresh and good tasting. Then we also shared shells stuffed with their meatballs and thickly covered in meat sauce. I have some left for lunch. The sauce was slightly sweet (i like the sauce at Tony's New
York deli better) but tasty and lots of meat.

They had 3 big screen tv's on the wall and were advertising a super bowl special. But i didn't think the restaurant was set up to make that event enjoyable, especially not for the length of the game. The eating area is too small so its not possible to see the tv screen (any of them) without cranking your neck.

We would come back to try their pizza.
