Palo Alto Weekly • Friday, November 2, 2007 • Page 33 Eating Out Eating Out P izza is everywhere. Good pizza is not. But since find- ing the good stuff some- times requires precious time out of our busy lives, we may settle for greasy, flat slabs of flavorless goo. As the cheese hits our stomachs, we’re mollified, for a time. But, oh, when we find one of those places where the pizza-mak- ers are craftsmen, not assembly- line workers, we remember we once had standards, too. On this score, Maldonado’s will slap your taste buds out of their funk. The family enterprise has been hand- tossing crusts and lovingly baking them with fresh-tasting veggies and toppings for a quarter century. They don’t skimp on the portions, either. Maldonado’s New York-style pizza is tossed into four sizes, from the “personal” size at 10 inches to a large at 16 inches. The personal pizza dwarfs the typical 6-to-7-inch personal pizza of many chains. In size and price it’s comparable to other places’ “smalls,” but I like the fact it’s called “personal,” because that means I don’t have to share. On my first visit, a regular cus- tomer helped me overcome my indecision, recommending the Stromboli ($9.10 personal; $19.30 large), a flat pie with Italian sau- sage, mushrooms, salami and pep- peroni over a well-seasoned tomato sauce. There’s something old fash- ioned but sublime about this com- bination, and everyone I tried it out on agreed (after all, I did share — when cornered). We tried the Super Hawaiian pizza, too, with bell peppers, ham, pineapple and mushrooms ($9.10 personal; $19.30 large). The mush- rooms mellow the acidity of the pineapple, producing a creamy fla- vor most “Hawaiian” pizzas don’t seem to have. It was very good, in large part because of the crust: thin enough to be crispy around the edges and slightly chewy. Like any good pizza joint, Mal- donado’s lets you design your own oeuvre. The nearly 30 toppings in- clude the slightly unusual — clams, jalapeños, pastrami, cilantro, lin- guica and broccoli, to name a few — as well as ingredients that make up the standards of American piz- za: anchovies, sweet bell peppers, pepperoni, Italian sausage, mush- rooms, black olives, tomatoes and garlic. To help you ease into your carbo load, you could prime yourself with an appetizer such as garlic bread, bread sticks, cheesy bread or jala- peño sticks. The bread sticks come with sides of pizza sauce, bursting with oregano, and ranch dressing. The sauce is better, turning each bread stick into a marinara pizza, though they were a tad under- cooked. The huge green salad ($4.85) adds such filling ingredients as kidney and garbanzo beans, crou- tons and cheese to the usual let- tuce, bell peppers, mushrooms and tomatoes, creating a real stick-to- your-ribs meal, if you can say that about a salad. On another visit, I tried Maldona- do’s Special pizza ($9.61 small; $20.55 large). While I thought the coalition of pepperoni, sausage, sa- lami, linguica, peppers, ‘shrooms and onions would turn out a great pizza, for some reason the flavors didn’t balance as well as the Strom- boli. (If you’re beginning to think it must be hard for vegetarians to eat here, I should mention there are also vegetarian pizzas, calzones, sandwiches and, of course, the big salads.) I also ordered a hot sub sandwich ($6.24) with pepperoni and salami, dressed with lettuce, tomatoes, on- ions, mayo, mustard, oil and vin- egar. What a sandwich: juicy, spicy and wonderful, and stuffed to over- flowing into a fresh French roll. If I’d eaten the whole thing, I, too, would have been stuffed to over- flowing. It’s a steal for the price, and more exciting than the pizza sub with meatballs ($6.24), which tasted flat in comparison. Next time I may create my own combo sandwich. For a more traditional pizza sand- wich, try Maldonado’s calzones. They tuck cheeses, mushrooms, sausage, basil and pizza sauce in- side a hearty crust that doesn’t turn out soggy from the sauce. This cal- zone sits on a much higher plane than the cheese footballs many restaurants serve. Being a very flexible pizzeria, Maldonado’s lets you request your own selection of ingredients, too. At $6.98, it’s more than many people (OK — girls) will eat in one sitting. Throw in a giant salad and you could feed two people for lunch. Lesser appetites go for the house special: a slice with one or two toppings, small salad, and soda ($5.55). Unassuming on the outside, this mostly take-out pizzeria has been quietly accruing devotees from many walks of life: families, soror- ity girls, an ice-cream man replete with cart — and at lunch, a shirt- and-tie, pointy-shoed salesman dining at the eat-in counter that seats maybe a half dozen.

Eating Out

P izza is everywhere. Good pizza is not. But since find-ing the good stuff some-

times requires precious time out of our busy lives, we may settle for greasy, flat slabs of flavorless goo. As the cheese hits our stomachs, we’re mollified, for a time.

But, oh, when we find one of those places where the pizza-mak-ers are craftsmen, not assembly-line workers, we remember we once had standards, too. On this score, Maldonado’s will slap your taste buds out of their funk. The

family enterprise has been hand-tossing crusts and lovingly baking them with fresh-tasting veggies and toppings for a quarter century.

That means lamb kabobs and stews, flat breads topped with veal and lamb, and bulgur dishes, made from a cracked wheat grain. The hummus is superb, especially with the house-made bread. Niskan (lentil) and balcanres (eggplant) are also great starters. Excellent rotisserie meat, and delightful piz-za with a Middle Eastern touch.

The counties of San Mateo and Santa Clara have

always stood for imagination and innovation. So when

it came to dreaming up ways to better serve the

region, we imagined a new way forward for ourselves.

The new Silicon Valley Community Foundation

resulted from the historic merger of Peninsula

Community Foundation and Community Foundation

Silicon Valley in January 2007. The new community

foundation combines more than $1.9 billion in assets

with a priceless portfolio of expertise and experience -

in turn creating a catalyst for change greater than the

sum of its parts. Imagine that.

When we set out to change the community, we started by changing ourselves.

Vote for Sid for City Council!

★ Tackling Infrastructure Backlogs★ Increasing Economic Development★ Ensuring Environmental Leadership

4 candidates have talents,

experience to lead

Espinosa...has served on the boards of the Palo Alto

Arts Center Foundation and the Palo Alto Chamber of

Commerce, and he has been active in the Silicon Valley

Leadership Group and the Bay Area Council. He...would

work to increase retail sales tax revenue, and he has

smart ideas for making Palo Alto a hub of green-tech

innovation.

Editorial

Ready for the council...Espinosa... know[s] city wellThe people Palo Alto residents elect to the city council next month

will confront far-reaching issues... Fortunately, we have a talented

pool to draw from. Espinosa...has ambitious plans to build on

Palo Alto's environmental reputation if elected. He offers ideas that won't necessarily burden the taxpayer, either—he wants to foster

a green technology hub and promote green building practices. We also appreciate his ideas on making city government work more efficiently. ...Espinosa...bring[s] impressive credentials to the race, along with a keen understanding of Palo Alto's unique strengths and challenges, which is why we endorse them.

Espinosa...for City Council

Combination of new faces and seasoned community involvement

would provide a good balance to fill city leadership vacuum in 2008.

Sid Espinosa, director of philanthropy at Hewlett-Packard, has through his work and

volunteer activities established strong relationships and a solid reputation throughout

the community. He demonstrates a depth of knowledge of local issues behind a surface

charm and friendliness. His background interest in public policy (since his Harvard

days), his engagement in civic issues from youth services to finances and the Art Center,

and his approach to “setting clear expectations” for management convince us that he is

the best of the field.

Sid is the only candidate who has the support of all Palo Alto elected officials, including Congresswoman Anna Eshoo,

State Senator Joe Simitian, Assemblyman Ira Ruskin, County Supervisor Liz Kniss, Mayor Yoriko Kishimoto, the entire Palo Alto City Council, the entire Palo Alto School Board and most former Palo Alto mayors.

p

Sid embodies the energy, innovation and intelligence of Silicon Valley. With Sid, you get the best of both worlds—a global vision and a commitment to community.

State Senator Joe Simitian, 11th District
