Johnny Costa’s Ristorante
Palm Springs, California

By Denise Ortuno Neil

Molta bella brick oven pizza was the star attraction Monday night, Jan. 25 at Johnny Costa’s Ristorante in Palm Springs, Calif. The long-time Palm Springs eatery introduced the newest addition to their menu by throwing it a party.

Guests were invited to taste the authentic Italian brick oven pizza and mix and mingle. Kathy Condon, Dianne Schroder and Roxanne Mishler, were some of the invited on hand to try the new item.

Johnny Costa, Sr. worked his magic in the kitchen as the rest of the Costa clan, Michelle, Nick, Vince, and Johnny, Jr. did their part to make the night a success.

The hand-tossed thin-crust pizza comes with a variety of toppings. There’s the Napolitano Margherita Pizza, with buffalo Italian style mozzarella, fresh basil, fresh tomato sauce and a drizzle of olive oil, the Four Seasons with, prosciutto, olives, mushrooms and artichoke hearts, and the ever-popular pepperoni or vegetarian just to name a few.
