Cheap Eats 2007

Alberta's Bella Faccia co-owner Linda Zumoff has struck out on her own in the unchartered wilds of Kenton with this hip friendly pizza and pasta joint. Crisp thin-crusted pies ($9-$14 12-inch $16.50-$23 18-inch) are light on sauce but big on freshness with a near-perfect cheese-to-topping ratio. Choose from 13 tasteful combinations from simple pepperoni to clams and pecorino or create your own. Start off with a small antipasti plate that would make a decent lunch for one ($6). For variety there's a full menu of pastas and sandwiches. Now that's-a nice. (BW)
