My favorite pizza in Ann Arbor and one of the best pizzas I've ever had! I first tried Silvio's because local, organic ingredients are important to me. However, I quickly fell in love with the taste and quality of their food. Their pasta and sauces are homemade daily and remind me of my great grandmother's dishes / recipes that she learned to cook in Italy. The dishes are simple in terms of ingredients but complex in terms of taste. Silvio, the owner / chef, really knows how to combine the highest quality ingredients to bring out the full richness and flavors of those ingredients. And he is a perfectionist when it comes to his food. I've heard from some of his employees that he works 16 hour days (from 5am until close) to make sure every dish is of the highest quality and has the best taste for his customers. It is a long and dedicated process, but it makes a big difference and you can taste the love that Silvio puts into each dish he makes. I find my mouth smiling with every bite of his food. While his pastas are excellent, I think his pizzas are even better. I recently had the fortune to try roughly a dozen different pizzas during a trip to Italy and Silvio's pizza are better in terms of taste, texture, ingredients and overall enjoyment. His crust is world-class, in my opinion, and has the perfect combination of a slightly crunchy exterior / good charring, a slightly chewy interior and complex flavors. While my personal favorite is his basic margherita pizza, you have to also try some of his more exotic combinations (e.g. his truffle pizza and his potato pizza are so original and to-die-for).
