Where to Eat Pizza in Boise
We love to eat all types of pizza, and we have found some tasty ones to recommend in the Treasure Valley. Both Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria and Grimaldi’s Coal Brick Oven Pizzeria serve varieties well worth partaking of!
Flatbread Neapolitan Pizzeria’s signature is D.O.C Neapolitan which has a Naples, Italy, pedigree. If it is your first time, a great choice is Quattro Stagioni (Four Seasons)--four quadrants, each with different toppings including Fior di Latte, San Marzano Pomdoro, Creminelli Prosciutto Crudo (which was our favorite) and Calabrese, Fresh Basil, Herbed Portobello Mushrooms, Fresh Parmesan. Flatbread also serves appetizers, soups, sandwiches, flatbreads, pastas, “Craft Your Own Pizzas” and desserts. Appetizer specials as well as two-for-one cocktails, beer and wine and lunch specials are available during Happy Hour.
