500BestSquareMeat Sauce Pizza @ Happy Italian

The idea of a pizza topped with the kind of meat sauce popular among pasta-lovers sounds like a natural. A slice of Lenny Minutello's meat sauce pizza removes all doubt as to its goodness, but still leaves us wondering why hardly any other pizzeria serves it. The Happy Italian's invention begins with a handmade crust run through a conveyor-belt oven (!) whose cooking surfaces are made of granite (!!). The result is a superb and unique pie, one more filling than most. So split the small one two ways. It's at its best when you it in house.
Happy Italian. Harahan: 7105 Jefferson Hwy. 504-305-4666.
