"A small side door at Scarlet Oak in Navy Yard explains the name behind the pint-sized takeout and delivery operation that’s been going strong since fall 2020. Neighborhood regulars flock to the tiny carryout for Detroit-style pizzas baked with Wisconsin brick and mozzarella cheeses and finished with a double racing stripe of zesty pizza sauce. An attached coffee shop and burrito bar called Earlybird joined the mix in late 2023 with breakfast tacos, assorted pastries, espresso drinks, and creative lattes. Morning-to-midday customers can sit and work in the adjoining restaurant (with free WiFi)." - Tierney Plumb
