Incredible, brick oven, specialty pizza. a little pricey, but worth it, with full bar and other Italian items on the menu. When the weather is nice there are seats outside as well. It is just a hole in the wall, next door to a lovely small art gallery, called the Bridge. Near the Downtown Mall and The Pavilion. Plan on spending the evening, the waiting list is usually long and they don't take reservations.
