Pizza Disguised as a Salad
by Darren Garnick
The “Tree Hugger” pizza at the 1750 Taphouse restaurant in Bedford is a virtual farmers market: carmelized onions, bell peppers, mixed mushrooms, spinach, black olives, tomatoes and artichoke hearts. I like to order it with extra tomato sauce, forcing the pizza to become a sixth-grade engineering project to see if the crust will collapse under duress. The 1750 Taphouse is overly generous with their toppings, making this a definite knife-and-fork pizza. If that’s not enough veggies for you, try a side order of grilled shishito peppers prepared Russian roulette-style. One out of every 20 peppers is “dangerously hot.” 1750taphouse.com
California-Approved Tacos
by Michael Hauptly-Pierce
As a 20-plus-year resident of California, which was before I was a 20-plus-resident of New Hampshire, I take my tacos pretty seriously. As Dr. Leary will tell you, with tacos, set and setting are everything. Great tacos are key, but give me The Experience. Joel and company at Dos Amigos Burritos in Concord deliver experience. In distant, sepia-toned memories, live music was playing during a tap takeover and crowds rejoiced, as we shall surely see again. When the refried beans hit the fan, Dos was one of the first in Concord to offer takeout, and they kept Concord fed for weeks. Super-fresh fish tacos on housemade blue corn tortillas are my go-to, with spicy mayo and extra chips, because their chips are awesome all by themselves. dosamigosburritos.com
Pizza and a View
by Victoria Arlen
I was born and raised in New Hampshire, and even though I live in LA, I will always call New Hampshire home. Lake Winnipesaukee is my all-time favorite spot to be — my family has a home there and it has been my happy place for as long as I can remember. The beautiful thing about Lake Winni (aside from the insanely amazing views) is that you can explore for hours. Over the years, my family and I have created quite a few family traditions, one of which is getting pizza by boat at Nolan’s Brick Oven Bistro in Wolfeboro. The pizza is delicious and out of this world. Whether we are dining in or taking pizza to go while watching the sunset by boat, the experience never disappoints. It is pretty much a staple stop whenever we have company in town visiting. nolansbistro.com
