Pizza of the day for 12/23...potatoes.  Usually, I'm not a fan of starch on top of my carbs...but this one, was a true winner.  Perfect flavors of cheese, olive oil, potato, rosemary, parsley and garlic.  The pizza dough was thin and perfect.…More »

Best focaccia ever!

I love it.

Plain.  Tomato.  Scallion.  Big flat sheets of it.  Moist and full of flavor.

Trust me...it's worth going there for a trip.  Come early, or else, they're sold out!  Everytime I get it...it doesn't make it home.  lol
