NABC Pizzeria & Pub a "pizza pick" in the Courier-Journal.

Nice words from Marty Rosen in Saturday's Louisville Courier-Journal: Four pizza picks that are sure to please.

NABC Pizzeria and Pub

The NABC Pizzeria and Pub, a component of the New Albanian Brewing Company, boasts a legendary beer list that draws connoisseurs from all over the country. There's nary a mass-market lager to be found, but if your thirsts are artisanal, there are hundreds of ways to quench it.

Also included is the Charlestown Pizza Company, which fully deserves the recognition.

I appreciate Marty's help with the ongoing process of rebranding, although if you still wish to call our Grant Line components by their Rich O's and Sportstime names, please feel free. One of my resolutions for 2010 is to be more consistent with my written references to NABC Pizzeria & Pub. We'll see how it goes.

NABC Solidarity with meat-laden pizza, tonight at BoomBozz.

NABC Solidarity will be tapped at BoomBozz Taphouse tonight (Wednesday, December 16), and my thoughts have turned to pizza options to accompany my jar.

Currently personal tastes are running toward garlic cream sauce, bacon, anchovies and prosciutto. That's because Baltic Porters typically like meat, and the more strongly flavored flesh, the better. If BoomBozz had duck or venison on the menu, I'd try them. However, it's a gourmet pizza menu, which does just fine by me, and choices need not be restricted to meat.

I believe that our Solidarity can be taught to co-exist quite well with garlic, so I may add fresh garlic to the pie, too.

Cabbage roll pizza, anyone?
