Don\u2019t call PizzaLeah pies \u201cCalifornia\u201d pizza. Though the L-o-l-a and Po-Tay-To pizzas have smashed fingerling potatoes, most of her pies are classics with a twist. Think olive oil, mushrooms, roasted garlic, Italian sausage or meatballs and sweet, rich tomato sauce. She uses hot honey, pickled peppers, orange zest, caramelized onions or roasted fennel to flavor-boost her pies, not decorate them.<\/p>\n
Pizzas come in two styles, thin-crust round pies that are 12 or 16 inches ($20\/$28) or square-pan pies ($28) which are made in limited quantities. Pizza names are usually references to friends or family.<\/p>\n
Old Grey Beard: Red sauce, mozzarella, fontina, Italian sausage, Calabrian peppers, hot honey and orange zest. The sauce is worth noticing, because it\u2019s noticeably different and not overwhelmed by oregano or dried basil. There\u2019s a sweet, tangy, long-simmered tomato flavor that doesn\u2019t need to be covered with seasoning. I love a mix of sweet, salty and savory with light heat that tingles rather than burns.<\/p>\n
Po-Tay-To: Mozzarella, smashed fingerling potatoes, green onions, applewood smoked bacon, garlic and cream. Potatoes are fairly common as a pizza topping in Italy and soak up the flavor of the bacon and garlic.<\/p>\n
The thin crust has that perfect balance between chewy and crunchy. It\u2019s not blackened on the bottom, but dark enough to show a keen mastery of temperature and dough.<\/p>\n
Mush-a-Roni: Square pizzas use the same basic dough but become more like focaccia than a thick, bready crust. This is one of the most beautiful pizzas you will ever see in your life. It\u2019s not a gloopy mess of cheese and dough but comforting grandma-style pan pizza with red sauce, pepperoni, cremini mushrooms, fresh basil and shaved Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n
You also can make your own pizza, and the menu includes gluten-free crusts. Several items on the menu aren\u2019t available right now, like the meatballs and wedge salad or the watercress salad, but will make an appearance once things get back to normal.<\/p>\n
