On a recent trip to Savannah, we were wandering around the Starland district, stopped by Water Witch for cocktails and needing dinner stumbled upon Squirrel's Pizza (right next door to Water Witch).
I am so glad we did!
Squirrel's Pizza is serving up delicious pizza and amazing cocktails in warm and welcoming environment.
We began our visit with cocktails. Having already had superlative cocktails next door at Water Witch, I was expecting more basic, ho hum cocktails here (it is a pizza spot, after all). Not so! Squirrel's Pizza offers thoughtful, well balanced, deliciously rendered cocktails.
For our starter, we opted for the baked chevre, which is a combination of chevre and tomato sauce--all wood fired and served with sliced ciabatta. It was a solid good. The chevre was flavorful but the ciabatta was a little too dryly toasted for me
Then came the pizza. They describe their pizza as a combination of neopolitan and romano pizza tonda. It was absolutely amazing. All the flavorful char one expects from neapolitan style pizza paired with the crispiness that I've come to learn is signature for romano pizza tonda. Truly, an absolute delight. We opted for Benny's white vegetable pizza (aka Benny Blanco), which is a delicious combination of fresh mozzarella, parmesan, rosemary, lemon agrumato and an extra virgin olive oil base. *chef's kiss*
The service was attentive and kind. As I mentioned the atmosphere was warm and welcoming (and who doesn't love all the anthropomorphic squirrel art?
Get to it!
