Tomato sauce, goat cheese, mozzarella, spinach, sundried tomato, and black olive. Absolutely delicious.

I don&#8217;t blame them for needing a little while to work things out. It seemed like the entire town came there last night!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Very satisfied with my first visit to Aldo&#8217;s, and as a bonus, I got to meet Aldo&#8217;s mom, who reads this blog all the time. &#8220;Sometimes it&#8217;s easier to find out what my son is doing by reading your blog, than it is calling him,&#8221; she told me.
