Brick’s Neapolitan Pizza

Whether it’s sunny or sleeting, any day is a nice day to drive to Hudson for a brick-oven-fired pizza. With thin, chewy, Neapolitan-style crust, fresh-pulled mozzarella, and San Marzano tomatoes, every Brick’s pie has the sassy personality of Pulcinella, the beak-nosed Commedia dell’arte character. Smartly grilled paninis and a round of satisfying salads fill out the menu at this sleek eatery. Even better, your indulgence in this fare is actually an act of altruism: One hundred percent of the profits from Bricks go to Compassion Now, a charitable organization that provides aid to children and communities in developing nations. 407 2nd St., Hudson, WI; 715-377-7670; www.eatbricks.com
