MOSCOW--Pizza and wine dominate the menu at Maialina, one of Moscow's newest restaurants.

Maialina puts a different take on the familiar dish. Its thin crust is hard on the outside and chewy and soft on the inside. The combinations of toppings are unusual too. One features tomato, mozzarella, roasted cauliflower, basil, pine nuts, balsamic vinegar, and golden raisins.

The wine list is prolific with more than 100 varieties. The setting is not the grab-and-go, sit-if-you-want atmosphere found in some pizzerias. A wait staff takes orders and the napkins are made from cloth.

Maialina occupies one of downtown Moscow's busiest corners at Sixth and Main Street. It is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday and noon to 10 p.m. on Sunday.
