"Wood-fired, blistery crust pizzas are the stars here, with options ranging from the simple, spot-on margherita and pepperoni and spicy honey, to a combo of sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and ricotta salata. Petite primi and secondi lists change regularly; jump at the chance for housemade pasta with any sort of ragu, especially pork. Grownups should sample the cocktail menu — some drinks feature housemade tonic — and kids should try alcohol-free specialties like elderflower soda. Open every day of the week for dinner, plus weekend afternoons for burgers in Temescal Alley, there’s a reason this neighborhood gem has persisted over the years and is still going strong." - Justine Jones, Laura Smith Borrman
