Our favorite source of pizza is a neighborhood secret. We love their regular crust: Our kids get plain or pepperoni, while grownups might enjoy the pescatore (for anchovy lovers only) or the Di Sicilian (if you like your pizza spicy!) You can find their menu online at http://enjoyfresh.net.

This is our source for Indian food delivery. It's not fancy or inventive like Vij (a must-try while you're in town!) but it's classic Indian food done well. We love their butter chicken (yes, all butter chicken is good, but theirs is REALLY delicious) and their Peshwari naaan -- naan stuffed with nuts, raisins and coconut.
