"Jackson Pollack couldn't have created a more beautiful tableau. Pizza #14 on the Carminuccio's menu is a vivid melange of caramelized roasted garlic cloves, intensely flavorful roasted tomatoes, creamy mozzarella cheese, pesto sauce and fresh spinach leaves. All that atop a chewy-crisp crust that is at once elegant and supremely satisfying. Put this pie in the Pizza Pantheon!"

"I currently have two slices of this pizza in my refrigerator and am debating whether to have them cold or warmed up. Despite the plethora of garlic, peppers, and sausage, plus cheese and sauce, the crust on this work of art remained crisp and sturdy."
Michael Stern
"This is a "stuffed bread." In addition to massive amounts of cooked broccoli, it contains pepperoni, sausage, and cheese."
Michael Stern
"One of our favorite pizza combos at Carminuccio's: peppers and mushrooms. Normally, we get meat on a pizza, but these peppers and mushrooms are so delicious that they stand by themselves as topping. "
Michael Stern
"Two sizes of the Buffalo chicken wing sandwich are available. This one is "small" -- a six-inch grinder roll loaded with ingredients. "Large" is twice as big. What is not visible in the photo is all the blue cheese dressing atop the shredded lettuce: an inspired companion for the zesty chicken."
Michael Stern
"Slices of fresh tomato are strewn across a field of mozzarella."
Michael Stern
"A simple tomato sauce and mozzarella slice has soulful crunch to its crust and a fine, delicate texture in the toppings."
Michael Stern
"While we were waiting for our steak sandwich to be made, this beautiful, individual-sized pizza emerged from the oven. The bacon was still sizzling."
Michael Stern
"One of the stranger items on the menu: a basic cheese pizza is served heaped with iceberg lettuce salad. The menu describes this strangely satisfying item as "Carmine's creation.""
Michael Stern
"Carminuccio's is on a strip of highway not famous for great eats. But to those in the know, it's the place to go."
