Dino's Tomato Pie

I couldn't wait to check out Dino's Tomato Pie on Capital Hill that recently opened.  I am a big fan of the pizza at Delancey, and Dino's is owned by the same lovely people.  So after having a beer at Perihelion Brewery, we headed to the hill and got ourselves some cocktails and pizza.  I loved the 90's Jersey feel and the family photos on the wall.  I loved the lights and even the dark paneling.  For me, it did bring me back to the 90's.  Heading to the roller rink with friends or hanging out at friend's houses, the look and feel of the place really worked for me.  But then the food arrived and things got even better.  We started with The Fancy Salad with arugula, fennel, and some sort of incredible mouthwatering salami.  The salad was served with a vinaigrette dressing in a bottle, on the side.  For our pizza, we decided on the 18'' round with half pepperoni and half cheese.  When that pizza arrived, my husband almost jumped for joy.  Thin crust is his favorite and he was happily surprised.  He took one bite and sighed happily.  He didn't care as much about the ambiance as I did, but the pizza was spot on for him.  I too, loved the pizza and we actually polished the whole thing off.  We sipped cocktails, Ice Cold Old Fashioned's and then we shared a Blue Ricky- a blue drink with rum, coconut, and pineapple.   I liked the contrast between the dive bar Jersey look and the delicious food with high quality ingredients and taste.
