Description

Culinary devotees flock to Aptos for its deluxe food spots, boutique coffee shops, and supermarkets aplenty. Jumping on the bandwagon is this delicious operation with a single mission—to churn out the most memorable and addictive pizzas in town.
Soft hues, dark green-framed doors, and a barn-like structure foster a communal sense. The carte is unusual, unveiling fried sardines with Meyer lemon aïoli or white bean soup with chickpeas in a prosciutto broth. Taking the cake however are pizzas, like the "Pesto" shimmering with fromage blanc, Crescenza, and caciocavallo, or Sardenaira with tomato sauce, anchovies, and olives. If great pizza is the stuff of dreams, you may want to skip the house-made pistachio ice cream. But, is that a risk worth taking?
