pacci's neapolitan pizzeria

what do you do when you find yourself in an unknown far away kingdom like, say, silver spring, and you need aplaceto eat in a hurry? you could always go with the safe (if unexciting) bets of potbelly or chipotle , or put your fate in the hands of the legion of online reviewers on sites like yelp or urbanspoon . we generally choose the latter option, but this is the sort of situation where my uncanny ability to recall restaurants that i've read about comes in handy. i can't do math, i sometimes forget to pack all of my clothes in my gym bag, but if you need to know the name of that restaurant that tom sietsema recommended in elkridge, maryland, i'm your gal. b is partly amused by it and partly freaked out. we'll be driving through random towns and he'll ask where we should eat and i'll blurt out the name of someplacethat i read about in some blog or newspaper 4 years ago. this rambling back story is provided to convey how we ended up eating at pacci's neapolitan pizzeria in silver s

good not great. i ate here recently with a few others. we all ordered different pizzas. the consensus was that the flavor was good but...although the dough was flaky at the crust, the middle was mushy. my idea of a great pizza is one where the whole thin crust is on the crispy side. in addition, the arugula and prosciutto were just heaped whole on the top. it would have been much better and less awkward to eat if they had been cut/torn into small pieces. the wait was pretty long, but the prices were fair and the patio a lovelyplaceto eat on a warm night. i would not go out of my way to eat here, but it is worth a visit if you are close by.
