French Toast
Last Sunday, I took some out of town friends for lunch (became dinner also) at Millie’s Old World Meatballs & Pizza. If you read my blog regularly and are connected with me on Facebook and Twitter, you know I’m a huge fan of Millie’s and what Chef Peter Martinez is doing there (read previous post here).
Breakfast Pizza
I’ve spent some time in the past with Millie’s co-owner, Vince Carrabba, and he’s a smart guy who clearly saw an opportunity to serve up brunch to folks with limited options in the Morristown area. The brunch menu offers breakfast-style pizzas paired with French toast made with thick-cut Italian bread. There are three brunch combination options that feed one or two guests. Millie’s is a BYOB and will pour OJ by the glass or pitcher for folks who bring their own bubbly (or not).
We sampled the wood-fired pizza with house-made Mozzarella, Parmigiano Reggiano, home fries and eggs and the French toast. The breakfast pizza topped with scrambled eggs might appear a bit odd at first, but it makes perfect sense as the crust serves as the “toast” and the homefries under the eggs are a perfect match. The French toast are on crusty, hearty bread and served with syrup – a sweet contrast to the savory pizza.
Sausage Pizza
While the breakfast items were delectable, we couldn’t pass up standard menu items like the fresh Mozzarella with Prosciutto, meatballs in Vodka sauce and a couple pizzas – the coal-fired Sweet Sausage Pizza and the wood-fired Fresh Basil Pie. The sausage pizza was topped with sausage, sweet peppers, tomatoes sautéed in garlic, homemade Mozzarella and basil leaves. The crust from the coal oven is crispy and beautifully-charred and the toppings work in perfect harmony. The white pizza with garlic-infused olive oil and fresh Mozzarella has basil leaves that get crispy from the 90-second visit in the wood oven – a sure winner.
The Sunday brunch is served from 11.30AM until 3PM and the a la carte menu is also available during that time. Grab some friends, family and a bottle of Prosecco and make your way to Millie’s for a fun and delicious Sunday brunch.
