If you’re like me, you drove right past Masullo’s the first time you went looking for it. I’d heard about this incredible neapolitan style pizza joint on Riverside from a few friends and I wanted to check it out… since I didn’t have the exact address with me it took me three trips to find!
It was worth the extra driving around. Masullo (2711 Riverside) is the closest thing I’ve had to real Italian pizza in Sacramento – other places come close, but Masullo nails it. I’ve been back many times since and I’ve never been disappointed.
it doesn’t hurt that Masullo looks great too. I love the elegant MCM-inspired decor, especially the heacy tables that were milled out of neighborhood Maple tree.
It also doesn’t hurt that there’s a 2-for-1 pizza coupon in MidMo- it’s only good Mon-Weds, but hey, I like to eat on those days too.
The only bad part about Masullo was that it was only open for dinner- until now! i just got notice that they’re opening up for lunch this week. if you haven’t been – go. you’ll be stoked you did!
