"We love fermented dough like the city loves ultra-light down jackets, which is why we order PizzaHacker’s sourdough pies at least once a month. They're gorgeously charred, and the tangy crusts nail the stretch factor—chewy on the inside and a crisp exterior. Go for the Forbidden Fruit, which is essentially a Hawaiian pie with jalapeños and red onions (it will convert the staunchest pineapple-on-pizza haters). Seating at this relaxed spot is picnic benches, making this place ideal for family dinners and weeknight group hangs. " - lani conway, julia chen 1, ricky rodriguez
