To try and decide each week where and what to eat around the basin can be a challenge – there are so many amazing choices. In this feature we’ll dive into dishes that will surely satisfy those hunger pangs and leave you wondering where to go next.

When it comes to pizza ingredients, are there any better than Mediterranean? The vibrant balance of acidity, salty and earthy meld together so well that you can hear Jerry Maguire in the background saying, “You complete me” after every bite. Maybe it’s not quite that dramatic, but this week’s feature sure feels that way.

Working each day with freshly made dough for all their pizza’s, this pie is a combination of fresh tomatoes, artichoke hearts, kalamata olives, arugula, feta cheese, and sun-dried tomatoes, all mixing it up with their signature four-cheese blend and thin Italian garlic margherita sauce.

First off, I’m a sucker for sun-dried tomatoes so those intense sweet and tart pops of flavor you get with every bite can do no wrong on my palette. The saltiness from the feta and olives gets a great balance from the earthy artichoke hearts and peppery arugula. And one of the biggest things that can easily get overlooked when it comes to pizza, every ingredient feels super fresh.

You can just sit me in a dark room and feed me slices of this pizza for a week and I’ll be perfectly content. Not sure what state of mind I’d be in when I emerge after seven days, but I likely could still go for another slice or two – or at least a side of their beer battered Parmesan garlic fries. They might need their own feature one of these days.
