Take out pizza chain tosses crunchy-crusted pizzas with a variety of tasty toppings.. The Scene
Basil Doc's sets magazines out for those who wait -- and Milk Bones for four-legged accompaniers.

The Food
Expect a miracle of a crust--as crisp as a cracker, with teeth-pulling dough--hand-made red sauce loaded with fresh basil; and judicious amounts of cheese and toppings, all sprinkled with more basil, garlic and grated pecorino Romano cheese. The crust is really a marvel. Although all pizzas from Basil Doc's need to be transported somewhere else, the crust retains its crunch and crisp for many minutes after the pie exits the oven. Even after time in a cardboard box. Specialty pies include Athenian (with feta and kalamata olives) and Tuscan (with sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts). These aren't slopped-together, haphazardly laid-out pizzas. When they're finished, they are a picture: rust-brown sauce, like lava flowed to the sphere's edge and curled around black-topped dough bubbles, under its quilt of toppings.
