Actively seeking points on OpenTable, Katy and I decided to have lunch one Sunday after church at Varasano's.  A recent establishment in the Peachtree Battle neighborhood, we were hoping to find a new pizza joint that could rival our other local favorites.  After checking in with the hostess to receive our 100 dining points, we laughed while realizing 11:45am reservations are not a hot commodity.

Unsure just how big the pizzas were, we ordered two to share and wound up with some leftovers.  Personally loving thin crust pizza charred from a brick oven, I was confident any of the menu selections would not disappoint.  I chose the Salumi that was topped with thinly sliced Italian cured meats, mozzarella, tomato sauce and spiced olives.  Just as I had hoped, the flash baked crust was an ideal vehicle for the sauce and delicious combination of meats and salty olives.  Katy ordered the Caramelized Onion pizza with sweet onions and a sharp Emmenthaler cheese.  She added sausage with fennel which was a perfect compliment to the other present bold flavors.  We folded up the slices and gobbled them down in recommended fashion.


After a lovely meal, our jubilant waitress informed us that we could save ten percent simply by blogging or tweeting about the restaurant.  Knowing nothing about 'tweeting', I questioned whether or not I could become a Blogger.....enter DOT's Thoughts on Hot Spots.
