Five Brothers Pizza

Description

For international fans of Middle Eastern fare, Five Brothers Pizza offers a delightful Lebanese menu every Thursday. With everything from hummus and freshly baked pita bread to the delicate paper-thin pastry of the spinach pie, Five Brothers takes a detour from the traditional Italian culinary, and heads east to deliver old-world tastes right out of the bazaar. The appetizer platter, at $10.95, is a must for the Eastern Mediterranean experience. The hummus is ground chickpeas with garlic, olive oil and sesame, garnished with paprika and served with hot, fresh pita bread. Also on the appetizer platter is a Greek-style yogurt, garlic and cucumber mixture perfect for dipping the pita bread and the spinach pie. With the delicate flaking pastry famous through Greece, Turkey and all the way down to Egypt, Five Brothers' feta-cheese-and-spinach pie is a savory treat that will take your tastes buds out for vacation. The Greek salad at Five Brothers is a tribute to any fine Greek restaurant. The flavors of oregano, olive oil and lemon blend with the onions, greenery and crumbled feta cheese into a mouthwatering combination that is healthy and calorie-conscious. After the first taste of Five Brothers pizza, it becomes obvious why the tables under the Mona Lisa and the leaning tower of Pisa are seldom without patrons. The thin crust is not overdone and not too soft, there are no grease puddles on the toppings that must be blotted with a napkin, and the overall taste experience fits right in with the Five Brothers motto: fresh ingredients, a watchful eye in the kitchen and don't serve anything you wouldn't serve to a relative.
