Salamone's Italian Pizzeria - Fort Atkinson - Ethnic Food Wisconsin - Saturday Night Pizza
This entry was posted on 5/16/2008 4:02 PM and is filed under Saturday Night Pizza,Ethnic Restaurants.
When I took some classes at Madison Area Technical College's (MATC) satellite campus in Fort Atkinson, I would hop across the street once in a while to Salamone's Italian Pizzeria. Heide and I made a return trip last week.
I opted for the 14-inch Sal's Gourmet Pizza. My favorite is the thin crust with pepperoni and onions for my toppings. One litmus test of mine for a good pizza is how well the take-home portion tastes the next day. Salamone's certainly passes muster.
Heide choose a dinner selection of Seafood Ravioli. It is made with shrimp, scallops, and lobster, all covered with cream sauce. She chose French Onion soup for her side.
Salamone's is way beyond a pizza joint. They also have a big bar area adjacent to the dinning area. With tip and ample pizza to take home, we got out of there for just over 30 Bucks. Give them a try if you are in the area. Salamone's is cool with Cool Dadio.
Find them at 1245 Madison Avenue, Highway 12 in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin. They are on the Madison side of Fort' and across from the MATC Fort' campus. Call (920) 563-9217 for more information.
