FRESH PASTA & SOURDOUGH PIZZA
SINCE 2021
SPECIALIZING IN
FRESH PASTA
& SOURDOUGH DECK OVEN PIZZA
THE DIFFERENCE WITH FRESH NOODS
FRESH PASTA IS ALWAYS COOKED TO ORDER AND ORDINARILY ONLY AVAILABLE AT BOUGIE SPOTS CHARGING HIGHER PRICES.
FRESH PASTA HAS A HIGHER STARCH CONTENT TO CREATE A VELVETY TEXTURE THAT DRY NOODS LACK.
WE USE A SOUTHERN-ITALIAN RECIPE (SEMOLINA, SALT, & WATER) THAT GETS HAND-CUT FROM BRONZE DIES, PRODUCING SMALL RIDGES AND A ROUGH TEXTURE THAT CREATES INCREDIBLE SAUCE ADHESION.
BY CONTRAST, DRY NOODS ARE PAR-BOILED AND THEN FRIDGE KEPT. WHEN YOU ORDER, THEY THEN GET A QUICK DIP IN HOT WATER TO REHEAT. SAUCE KIND OF FALLS OFF IT, EVEN THICK SAUCES LIKE ALFREDO.
SCRATCH-MADE ITALIAN
IN JUNE 2021, WE OPENED WITH A GUIDING PHILOSOPHY TO MAKE EVERYTHING FROM SCRATCH, IN-HOUSE. WE RUTHLESSLY ADHERE TO THIS APPROACH BECAUSE IT GIVES US CONTROL OVER ALL ASPECTS OF FLAVOR, QUALITY, AND CONSISTENCY.
WORD QUICKLY GOT OUT ABOUT A LOW KEY, FAMILY FRIENDLY SCRATCH ITALIAN RESTAURANT. AND WHILE BUSINESS HAS GROWN AND WE DECORATED THE WALLS, WE REMAIN TRUE TO OFFERING A SIMPLE MENU OF SCRATCH-MADE ITALIAN.
SOURDOUGH
DECK OVEN PIZZA
OUR PIZZA STARTS WITH A 233 YEAR OLD STARTER FROM SAN FRANCISCO AND AMERICAN SPRING WHEAT MILLED FROM THE CENTER OF THE KERNAL, RESULTING IN A HIGH PROTEIN, HIGH GLUTEN-FORMING FLOUR.
THE SOURDOUGH STARTER GIVES IT A SIGNATURE TASTE AND OUR SPECIALTY MALTED PATENT FLOUR IS THE KEY TO CREATING A CRUST WITH NO FLOP AND THE PERFECT CHEW.
THE DOUGH IS SLOW-FERMENTED FOR 2+ DAYS BEFORE BEING TOPPED WITH OUR HOUSE SAUCE, WHOLE MILK MOZZARELLA, AND PREMIUM TOPPINGS BEFORE BEING COOKED IN A BLODGETT DECK OVEN AT 650F TO GIVE IT A SLIGHT CHAR AND CRISP UNDERCARRIAGE.

OUR HOUSEMADE CALABRIAN CHILI OIL IS NOT JUST HEAT, BUT INTENSE FLAVOR. ASK TO MAKE YOUR PASTA "SPICY" OR A SIDE WITH YOUR PIZZA. THE CHILI PASTE IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN OUR MARKET.
THE KIDS GET SENT OUT WITH GRANDPA TO PICK CALABRIAN CHILIS. THEN DAD PICKLES THEM IN WHITE WINE VINEGAR BEFORE AGING THEM FOR A MONTH IN EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL.
