Little City Pizza
With polenta croutons on its salads and cheeses such as fontina and romano, Little City Pizza distinguishes itself with distinctive thin-crust pizza offerings. The fantastic tastes are in the little details: sweet fennel in the sausage, hand-rolled pepperoni and wild mushrooms. For non-Italian lovers, Little City has burgers and paninis as well as flat-bread roll-ups. Kids have their own area at the "Kids Bar," where they can watch cartoons as they chow down.
