One More Reason to Love Cambridge 1

Over the weekend, Z and I met his family at one of my favorite restaurants in Harvard Square, Cambridge 1. I've been there with Z and his family before, and one of our favorite ways to enjoy their menu is to each order half of a pizza and share. Cambridge 1's pizza is charcoal grilled, extra thin and crispy, and the toppings are always fresh, innovative and downright flavorful.

On this particular evening, we all shared the arugula salad ($8) and bibb lettuce salad ($8) before our pizzas arrived at the table. The arugula salad is made with fresh, shaved parmesan cheese, and dressed with an unnecessary amount of extra virgin olive oil. The bibb lettuce salad was also over dressed with dijon vinaigrette, but the addition of grape tomatoes, fresh cilantro, and creamy gorgonzola helped to take my mind off of it.

For my entree, I ordered the #4, made with portobello, asiago cheese and roasted onion pizza ($8 for half). The subtle sweetness of the portobello mushrooms paired beautifully with the salty asiago and sweet onions. I'm a huge fan of thin, crispy pizza crust, so Cambridge 1's crust is addicting to me. Half of a pizza there is also easy for one person to eat, thanks to the airy, non-filling crust.

All in all, we had another successful dinner at Cambridge 1. Other pies I love there: The #5, made with potato, fontina, parmigiano, romano, rosemary and garlic ($8), as well as the #12, made with spinach, artichoke hearts, chevre, and slow roasted tomatoes ($8).
