Tahoe Vacation - Day 5

As predicted, it snowed today, but it was a very light snow that never stuck down where we are, but we still didn’t do much today.  It was cold, wet and made for a perfect lazy day.  Phil and I did walk down to Tahoe Vista and back, and got a few pictures of the lake and the snow covered peaks, though it wasn’t clear enough to get a great picture.



It did start coming down harder later in the afternoon, but it still wasn’t cold enough for it to stick here.  We decided to head down to South Lake Tahoe to get some pizza at The Brewery at Lake Tahoe (it smelled soooo good when were there the other day), but as we drove down the west side of the lake, we went up in altitude and wound up in a very snowy and icy environment, to the point that they had posted “chains required”, so we turned back when the snow plow truck passed us on the other side.  It was beautiful, but unfortunately too dark to get any pictures.

We headed back north to Tahoe City and pulled into Front Street Station Pizza (www.frontstreetpizza.com) hoping it would be good.  It’s a small place, with only counter space to sit at (though they had table seating outside…….but definitely not in THIS weather).  We ordered a pepperoni and some sodas and sat down waiting for our pizza.  There was a family at the counter next to the kitchen, so we sat on the side counter along the wall – but the family was leaving just as out pizza came out of the oven and we had better seating at the counter.

The pizza was thin crust and very crispy, the cheese very stringy (as it should be!), and they seemed to have the balance of sauce, cheese and pepperoni right.  It was a tad greasy, but I kind of expect that with pepperoni.  It made for a good cold night dinner.  The pizza wasn’t cheap, but not expensive either.  A 16”pizza plus two sodas ran me about $23.  It’s worth checking out if you’re in Tahoe City and want some pizza.
