There are several choices of places to eat in downtown Monticello.  A stranger on the street suggested Abe’s Pizza (and highly recommended the breadsticks).  Sold!  While this pizza shop wasn’t hard to find, it’s right on the main square in downtown Monticello, parking sure was!

After a few trips around and around thanks to one way streets, our own confusion, and my uncanny knack for pointing out open parking spaces after we had already driven past them (yeah, hubs just loves that), we finally got inside, placed our order, and had a seat in one of the booths.

We started with an order of breadsticks.  We had heard that they were to die for, and, whoa, baby, was that ever true!  Being a bit of a baker myself, I often have trouble finding places that meet my standards, that I don’t think I could top.  Those breadsticks were soft and fluffy and just plain incredible!   I have yet to meet another like it.  Move over Olive Garden!

As for the pizza?  Pepperoni, of course!  It was everything a pizza should be but usually isn’t.  You know it’s good when everyone (including the kid who is NEVER quiet) becomes completely silent after that first cheesy bite!  We’ll play around with other flavors the next time we head to Monticello, Indiana — and there will definitely be a next time!

Have you made the trip to Abe’s Pizza?  What is your favorite pizza combo?
