April 2015 - The Cut: Rooftop Pizzeria

Winter Elise

Rooftop Pizzeria, 60 East San Francisco Street Santa Fe NM, right on the historic plaza in downtown Santa Fe serves up some of the best Bruschetta I’ve ever tasted. Entering the glass mall on Santa Fe plaza no one would eve expect to find such a gem on the second level tucked in the back behind the Draft Station. Perch at a high table on their cover balcony the large menu open. They offer unique offers for pizza including smoked duck and roasted squash to the four cheese pizza topping. The offer an array of sauces from tomato to Alfredo, regular crust or a blue corn crust and 11 number pizza to choose from, of course you may build your own creation from an extensive list.

The starter was a hard choice between the Caprese salad and the Bruschetta, but the right decision was made. The garlic toast came piled high with ripe tomatoes and basil and Cotija cheese, but the Balsamic glaze added a touch of extra sweetness to it that made it divine on the palette. The number 7 wild and domestic mushrooms, truffle oil, and roast garlic was delightfully tasty although I did have to remove a few of the garlic cloves. The Linguine Alfredo with green chile and chicken had just the right kick that any Italian food lover and New Mexican could agree on. They also have a wonderful basic menu for kids creating a family friendly atmosphere and a great date night location with a large wine and beer selection on the menu.

A great place for the pickiest eaters and the most diverse eaters to all break bread. together.
