Cotto Enoteca

| Pizza Cotto and Pizza Polpetti |
Cotto Enoteca is located in an unsuspecting part of town – on the far
east end of Hastings Street, in north east Burnaby. My first impression was the
sign out front that reads loud and orange, ‘Cotto’- serving as a beacon on this
cold rainy night. Well, that… along with their boastfully gourmet pizza menu
with some very appetising toppings, had this place up there on my list.
One word pretty much sums it up - Delicious! The crust was great, the
pizza size was nice and large, the toppings were incredible, and the service
was excellent! I ordered the chef’s signature ‘Pizza Cotto’ – potato, pancetta,
fried brussel sprouts, gorgozola and fonduta. I know… brussel sprouts sound odd
and I scrunched up my nose too! But I warn you, you have probably never had
brussel sprouts that taste so good! They were such a great compliment to the
other flavours on this pizza. Absolutely yum! My partner’s pizza, the ‘Pizza
Polpetti’, was also delicious, but I think we both agreed that my pizza was far
superior. Not to take away from the Polpetti, as the meatballs, ricotta, grana
padano, spinach and basil on a tomato sauce, worked beautifully! Overall, we
were very satisfied with this place. Eating the other half of our pizza for
leftovers the next night also made it great value. I certainly recommend the
trip down to Cotto… or stop by if you’re in the area. Can’t wait to go back
myself!
