“This reminds me of the pizza at Yankee Stadium,” my wife proclaimed, as she took her first bite of pizza at Pizzeria Limonete (R. da Ferreirinha, 5050). “Is that a good thing?” I replied. Located in the town of Peso da Régua — about 90 minutes west of Porto along the banks of the Douro River — Pizzeria Limonete is not exactly a “destination” pizza place.

Although I had some decent pizza during the first part of my route (at Five Points Pizza in Nashville, Garage Bar in Louisville and Art of Pizza in Chicago) nothing was exceptional.
