Food fads come and go, but there's one type of pie that can always hold its own against any innovative competition and that's thick crust. Thick crust is the pizza that Everett has become known for. It's a favorite bake with all the pizza chefs in the city, so if you want something different you may have to search for it, but then again why look for something else when thick crust is so good? Thick crust is an uncomplicated pizza that truly delivers on taste and eating satisfaction. When the dough is pressed and baked it forms a good depth of crust which in this style of pie is usually left bare of ingredients unless it's been brushed with olive oil. It's one part of the pie that doesn't always get eaten, but no thick crust would be the same without it.

When you want a real taste of Italy to arrive at your door, phone your delivery pizza order in to Amante Pizza and Pasta. They bake the best and most authentic delivery pizza in Everett. That said, if you saw their premises on Hewitt Street from the outside you'd think it was more of a disco bar than a pizza parlor, as there are multi-colored lights strung across the windows and a surplus of neon signage. One neon displaying the fact they're open would be more than enough, but Amante likes to make sure their customers are well and truly in the know. You'll be in the know about their pizzas once you've had the first one. It doesn't matter which pizza you go for, just be thankful you're getting a delivery so you'll be saved from the sight of their eclectic premises.

When you're in need of a summertime treat and want it fresh from the plant, take yourself to Marysville and you'll be able to pick strawberries from the vine at several different farms.

Arlington

Amuse the kids for a few hours by taking them on a twenty-five-mile drive from Everett to Arlington. On the outskirts of Arlington is a zoo park that is totally different and one they'll absolutely love, the Outback Kangaroo Farm. There they can see the baby roos peeping out of their mother's pouches, and even feed some of the kangaroos and wallabies. There are other fun animals there too like ostriches, emus, llamas, alpacas, and a plethora of tropical birds. Watch out for the cheeky Nigerian dwarf goats. The kids will definitely want to take them home, but sadly they can't, so compensate them with a pizza at Hubb's Pizza and Pasta on 67th Avenue North East.
