"The wood-fired pizzas at this Sunset spot near the ocean are a much better beach companion than your friend's dog who won't stop sucking on your shoelaces. The crust is bubbly and charred, and the topping combinations are creative and balanced. We love the one with pancetta, pesto, and purple potatoes that add mild creamy starchiness, and the classic pepperoni with little cups that crisp up at the edges. Split a couple of pies with someone you want to impress (always get hot honey and ranch), or eat one by yourself at the bar with a blood orange spritz. " - julia chen 1, lani conway
