Where to eat? Who has the best service? Where can you find Italian selections worth taking out-of-town guest to dine? Start with my top pick:
Pizza Casa, 12924 Pacific Hwy SW, Lakewood, 588-8135. Pizza Casa has been around for decades, but has never lost that original taste. McDonald's fries have changed; the drive-ins are gone; but Pizza Casa still has great tasting food which remains consistent day after day after day. Fantastic Pizza which comes in a round shape, yet is sliced into a combination of squares and triangles. The crust is not cardboard, but instead has a thick, crispy taste, while the tomato sauce is spicy, yet fresh. Gobed with cheese, you will fall in love with this pizza and probably think of it before visiting your local freezer section. Pizza Casa is more than Pizza. The pasta dishes which are served either ala carte or dinner style, overflow on the plate. There isn't any skimping. The meat sauce on the spaghetti is very rich, with an almost tomato paste quality. The noodles aren't mushy, but instead hold up well under the sauce.

I'm not going to lie, last year when we published the 50 best dishes in the South Sound, Pizza Casa's spaghetti was on my list. And it's worth repeating this year. Located at the Gravelly Lake Exit off Interstate 5, this Lakewood tradition closely guards its spaghetti sauce recipe, and for good reason - it's a gold mine. Musty, rich and meaty, the sauce thickly coats a perfect plate of noodles. There's nothing watery about this dish, nor is it overly acidic or particularly light. This spaghetti is deep and dark, heavy, old world and robust - the Italian equivalent of beef bourguigonon. If this dish doesn't make you feel better, then see your doctor. - KS
