text: Mouthwatering cuisine really can come in a small package and Il Bosco is here to prove that size definitely does not matter I met the lovely Anna M for lunch recently and much to my delight she introduced me to Il Bosco nnHidden down an alley on the north west corner of Shea and Scottsdale Road Il Bosco is a humble abode filled with a whole lot of flavor The restaurant itself is tiny and probably only hold around people Upon walking in I was immediately greeted by the scent of pizza baking in the wood fired oven and a feeling of hominess with dark wood and brick paneling and close seating You know those restaurants where they offer you an eating in the kitchen experience and make you make a reservation months in advance for the chance to dine with the chef Well here you get to do so every time you visit because the open kitchen is just steps away from the seating Therefore you get to see the pizza being created from scratch and here is the best part of the entire experiencethe pizza cooks in seconds Yes seconds nnI ordered the Biaggia which comes with prosciutto figs four cheeses arugala and evo The lunch pizzas are personal pizzas so Anna ordered the Lucia which comes with cheese tomato sauce sausage and mushrooms I could smell the pizza being made and I started to drool with anticipation Finally a whole seconds later poof The pizza appeared and I took my first heavenly bite which turned into many more heavenly bites This pizza is some of the best pizza I have ever had and I have had my fair share of pizza The crust is a combination of crunchy and chewy and it is seasoned to perfection The toppings are a perfect combination of sweet and savory and compliment the crust perfectly I must say that the Biaggia was by far the most superb pizza I have had in quite some time The Lucia was also extremely good but the Biaggia stole poor Lucias thunder It was a delicious lunch and I really enjoyed the atmosphere It is one of the best kept secrets around but I do not think it should be a secret Everyone should experience this pizza nnI will leave you with one more little fun fact They have a portable wood fired oven that they use for catering It is amazing and would be great for a party I also noticed that they have a walkup window where you can order takeout
