I was so concerned about a low score.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Portnoy began his review with confusion surrounding the type of pizza that Acre serves (and confusion surrounding the pronunciation of \u201cSebastopol\u201d), so DeCosse set the record straight. In addition to several <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sonomamag.com\/acre-pizza-sonoma-county-pizza\/\">Detroit-style offerings<\/a>, Acre, which also has locations in Cotati and Petaluma, makes a \u201cneo-New York\u201d-style pizza with a signature fermented dough.

DeCosse collaborated with consultant Alastair \u201cThe Pizza Buddha\u201d Hannmann to source the freshest ingredients for the restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>DeCosse got his start in pizza when he was 14 years old, living in the Ozarks where he worked at a pizza parlor.
