For the July dinner, the Restaurant of the Month club went to Onesto, a little pizza place in South City (St. Louis Hills). One of the draws of Onesto is that they use organic flour for the pizza dough and use fresh and local ingredients for the food. They also have lots more than just pizza, including pastas, calzones, sandwiches, and stromboli.
There seem to be several gourmet pizza places popping up; one of the things I like about this trend is that these places offer really great toppings that you can't get at other pizza places. And the prices at Onesto are reasonable...not overly priced gourmet. I don't typically order veggie pizza because most places stick with the standard tomatoes, onions, peppers on the veggie pizza. Well, I was super excited to see that Onesto offered a veggie pizza with some unusual toppings. One of the other club members and I split a small All About the Veggies pizza. This pizza was amazing! It was topped with sauce, mozzarella cheese, roasted eggplant, roasted zucchini, fire-roasted peppers, caramelized onions, mushrooms, and roasted garlic. The crust was slightly overcooked, but that is exactly the way I like it; it was nice and crunchy. It was really delicious, and I'm excited that I had a couple of pieces to take home. This pizza will not be warmed up in the microwave either. It will get the proper treatment (which it totally deserves) and be warmed up in the oven. Yum yum!
