Ducali Pizzeria & Bar

After our liquid lunch on the waterfront we headed out to a relatively new pizza restaurant in the North End. Ducali Pizzeria & Bar is located on the outskirts of the neighborhood at 289 Causeway Street.

I live in one of the most crowded neighborhoods of the city calling to a variety of locals and tourists on a regular basis, especially so on a Friday night in the summertime. Dinner reservations are essential. We did not have them. 

Our leisurely walk to the opposite side of the North End would prove rewarding to start. We were seated right away at a high-top table for six. I immediately had to use the bathroom and was greeted by colorful spray painted walls on the way.

Fun.

After my basement photo shoot I was ready for a beer. Ducali has 10 draft beers as well as an ample wine list and a fun cocktail menu. The waitress recommended Brooklyn Summer. I think she read my mind. More drinks, please!

Cue exterior photo shoot.

We started with the Calamari Arabiata ($8.50). The calamari itself was tender, fresh and extra crispy. The hot peppers and spicy dipping sauce certainly packed a punch. The group ordered two large pizzas and one small. The Bistecca e Gorgonzola ($21) was a unanimous favorite.

We also enjoyed the The Melanzane e Zucchini ($16). 

I would definitely return to Ducali to sample more of their menu and to have some drinks at the bar. And I'm keeping them in mind for takeout, too!
