Super picky ex-NY'er when it comes to pizza, but 5 stars here. The MARGHERITA is just a special pie. It's not what I (now in SF CA) think of as the margherita pizza's here, as this is thicker and not as delicate, but it's amazing! Seriously! Not fancy, just few excellent high-quality ingredients expertly cooked. Highest recommendation!
Also loved the calzone for similar reasons - a dish I grew up with in NY but they seem to have a problem with in California, they sure got right in the 75005. 5-stars here too!!
Can't remember the name of the salad we shared, but yummmmy cheese, prosciutto, tomatoes, arugula...drool!
If you're open minded about your pizza toppings, check out other pies too. We tried the "contact" (ham, arugula...) and another one I can't remember. They were high quality and interesting and good, but not as much to our personal taste as the margherita or calzone - but this just a personal taste thing, no slight to the quality.
We ate there once for an "easy" meal, and did take-away for a night we were exhausted. The staff are super nice, and very patient and helpful with some English, as my French is horrible.
While I didn't plan to get pizza on my 1st trip to Paris, I'm super glad Alimento was just a block from our apartment as they are AMAZING!
