Pies include those of the traditional kind (pepperoni, margherita) and some house creations, like the Don Diego topped with mozzarella, chorizo, red onion, jalapeno, drop pepper and cilantro. All pizzas are ready within 10 minutes, and topped with seasonal ingredients from local suppliers including Sanagan’s Meat Locker.
