Harvest / Garden Pizza

Lauretano-garden 

Thick slices of red and yellow tomato fresh off the vine, disks of sunny summer squash, sweet corn kernels cut straight from the cob, a scattering of tiny champagne grapes, and curls of crisp-edged pancetta, along with a gossamer veil of creamy cheese, adorn the magnificent chewy crust that emerges from the wood-fired oven at Pizzeria Lauretano in Bethel, Connecticut. An off-the-menu special only for a few weeks at the end of summer when all ingredients are at their peak, this flatbread cornucopia was known last year as the Harvest Pizza, and this year it is the Garden Pizza: Roadfood Exhibit #1001 in the case for Connecticut being America's pizza paradise.

That pizza seems to have made a wrong turn to CT. from the Sonoma Wine Country, champange grapes are a clue...
I bet there is no other pie like this in CT. It does look very delicious and thankfully the pancetta keeps it from being a totally vegetarian pizza.

Pizzeria Lauretano makes pies that're closest in taste and appearance to real Neopolitan pizza from Italy -- and like Doggydaddy, I'd be willing to bet that it's like no other in the state. The tough part is that it sits directly across the street from the Sycamore Drive-in!

Chris, you're right: no Dagwoodburger. But at least we could go for an after-pizza root beer float.
