Best Pizza and a Movie

After only a sliver of a taste at the Best of Annapolis Party, we just had to try the Best Pizza. Rocco's Pizza has won the Best Pizza category for at least four years now, and happy Annapolitans have been eating for 35 years.

Rocco's pizza doesn't look like much at first glance, but what it lacks in beauty it makes up for in deliciousness.

Rocco's cheeze pizza is yum

The pizza crust was thin, true to New York style, but substantial and not soggy at all. Top that with juicy sweet tomato sauce and melted mozzarella with just a hint of smokiness and there you have it - survey says: best pizza.

The best pizza has gotta with a good movie. I'm a sucker for both romance and action, so we took a chance on The Adjustment Bureau.

The movie kept us involved and on the edge of our seats. After the climax, the husband was dying to know the screenwriter. Who wove together this thrilling story? The screen went dark and the words "Based on a story by Philip K. Dick" appeared.

Oh, that makes sense.

Best of Annapolis Party

The Best of Annapolis Party by What's Up? Magazine was hoppin' tonight. A crowded party is usually not my scene, but a food lover just can't resist a tasting party.


The theme was Paris to Annapolis... which I didn't quite get, but the decor was super-cute with red crabs crawling up an Eiffel Tower.


I got a few shots as we quickly grabbed food from the "Best" restaurant food stations. Paladar was serving their famous fresh guac with homemade yucca and plantain chips. These chips are so addicting!


Tonight I got my first taste of Davis' Pub - and I liked it. I knew I would, everyone has been telling me a visit is long overdue. At the party, Davis' featured pulled pork on a red cabbage slaw. The barbeque sauce was surprisingly light and not at all heavy and syrupy. This was more like a Carolina-style.


The real show-stealer was Main Ingredient's burnt sugar cheesecake. The perfect marriage of two of my favorite desserts. Speaking of marriage, I wouldn't mind this for a wedding cake. It was so good, and I ate it so fast that I barely got a picture!


Party on, Annapolis, and keep making that awesome food. (So I can eat it.)
