"Pie Punks, a casual new restaurant, made its debut in late June, taking over the space at 145 Second Street with round East Coast pizza, Detroit-style slabs, and slices of thin and crispy Grandma pies. Owner Lane Ford says he wanted to create a pizzeria for pizza lovers of all ilks. Ford partnered with Pedro Gonzalaz to head up the dough program, Gonzalaz having honed his skills at San Francisco pizza staples Delarosa and Beretta. Working with Alvin Luna, former executive chef at Gary Danko, the duo spins out three kinds of pizzas for Pie Punks. Aside from the pies, the Pie Punks menu offers a handful of appetizer options. As for drinks, there’s a menu of tiki cocktails. Ford also partnered up with Eric Passetti on the restaurant. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Saturday." - Lauren Saria
