Squid Eats: Pizzeria Verità

Burlington's Pizzeria Verità has long been one of our favorite choices for a pre-concert dinner as it's right around the corner from the Flynn Theater and it combines high-quality food with relatively quick service.  This week, we went after a movie, the recently Oscar-winning documentary No Other Land (5 stars out of 5 - go see it if you can).  It was a heavy film to watch, especially during troubling times.  A comforting meal was definitely in order.

Verita is definitely on the upscale side for a pizza joint.  It is owned by the same folks (and occupies the same city block) as both Trattoria Delia and Sotto Enoteca.  Like the other two, it emphasizes Continental European atmosphere and fresh, locally sourced ingredients.  The offerings are wonderfully varied, especially for a relatively short, two-page menu.  The cured meats for the pizzas are especially nice.

We kept it simple this time, sharing the Pizzarao Pizza (fior di latte, crushed tomatoes, caramelized onions, fresh basil, oregano and extra virgin olive oil), a salad and a tiramisu.  Even with drinks and dessert, the price for two was pretty good, especially compared to the sister restaurants.  Service was excellent as always.
