It’s fitting that Speedy Romeo houses a wood-fired oven painted like rocker Eddie Van Halen’s guitar. After all, Chef-Owner Justin Bazdarich is known for his riffs — of the culinary kind. One killer dish is the Paul’s Boutique Pizza. The dough is made from a mix of double-zero and high-gluten flours, resulting in an airy, textured crust. It’s slathered with a Dijon bechamel sauce, then heaped with pastrami, smoked red cabbage kraut and fontina (as well as a flurry of everything-bagel spice) before a quick turn in the oven. Then there’s the KC Royale, a white, clam-studded pizza that Brad Farmerie describes as “almost like taking a bite of clam chowder.”
Special Dishes: Paul's Boutique Pizza, KC Royale Pizza, The St. Louie Pizza, Ribs, Kelso IPA
