  Bruciato is where you'll find all sorts of unexpected pleasures, especially if you're a pizza lover... the kind who loves the lightly burnt, scorched, flame-blackened blisters speckling the cornicione of authentic Neapolitan pizza. It is truly delicious and there are many types to choose from. The incredible dough, baked and crisped to perfection in a high-temp wood-burning oven, and simple fresh ingredients result in a spectacular experience of taste and texture.
  
  Located in the old hardware store on Winslow, Bainbridge Island, is the sprawling pizzeria where you can watch masters at work.

  Simply amazing. Absolutely delicious. Chef Brendan has done it AGAIN!
  
  I haven't had pizza this good since visiting Naples, Italy where pizza was first invented. This is what traditional wood fire pizza is supposed to be - crispy, lightly carbonized homemade crusts that compliment the salty savory and/or sweet authentic toppings. The prosciutto is unbelievable and cured by the chef in his deli down the street and sliced fresh for each pizza. The sauce is also made in-house. The rest of the menu, including the cocktails, are innovative and authentically Italian.
  
  The atmosphere is lively and vivacious, with a smiling and attentive staff. The interior is warm and embracing due to the beautiful visual balance of exposed wood beams and brick, Italian marble, subway tile, brushed stainless light fixtures, handblown glass, candlelight and of course, the glowing woodfire pizza oven. Filled with inviting smells and laughing, friendly locals and visitors that appreciate a great pizzeria experience.
  
  The only downside is that you will become completely addicted to this pizza and will find yourself craving it daily.
  
  My (current) favorites are the Black Manhattan Cocktail, the Prosciutto Crudo or Dateri e Prosciutto pizzas and Tartufo Affogato, which should not be skipped regardless of how full you are. The menu does change so check the website for current options.
  
  Also, if you show up and there is a wait, don't let the line or crowd deter you from sticking around. Just belly up to the bar, order a glass of wine, beer or cocktail, watch the chefs dance in front of the woodfire oven and enjoy the subtle vibrations of the prosciutto slicer peeling off tissue thin slices of this bite of heaven.
