Recently I got to sit down at Ragazzi Pizza for a meal.
We ended up getting the Margherita. It was served in a 2-tiered serving tray. The crust was crispy, but not as charred as I would've liked. However, the dough was still seasoned nicely and was chewy. The tomato sauce was tasty with a mild tang with a good amount of cheese. I would've liked to see the basil added after it was cooked.
We also ordered one each of the Spaccanapoli and Mangiacake. The Spaccanapoli had sausage, spinach and ricotta. This was rather mild due to the ingredients involved (sausage was not the spicy variety, but did have a nice fennelaroma).The globs of ricotta added a creaminess to each bite. On the other hand, the mangiacake was more flavourful due to the inclusion of pepperoni, mushroom, green pepper and ground beef. This ate both meatier and somewhat spicier as a result. I found the crust held up to the ample ingredients quite well as no parts were soggy. Based on my previous takeout experience and the Pizzapalooza visit shortly after this visit, I believe Ragazzi makes a solid thin-crust pizza that stands up to the other spots in town.

The Good:
• Thin, crispy and chewy crust
• Not shy on the toppings
The Bad:
• Could be charred a little more
