The Best Dishes Eater SF Editors Ate This Week: Spring 2023 - Eater SF
"Back again with a recommendation from my hometown: this week, it’s a slice shop — though perhaps calling it a “shop” is a bit generous. Pizza Supreme Being has already been called out by KQED as “a welcome portal into a Sacramento scene.” Found on 14th Street in the shadow of the stately capitol building, it really isn’t much more than a walk-up window with a smattering of tables outside. But the simplicity of the setup belies the attention to detail behind the pies. Get there early (or so I’m told) to avoid lines and snag a square slice of pepperoni, onto which the curly cups of sausage will be stacked so high and thick you’ll scarcely be able to see the dough underneath. It’s a great slice, but my favorite was the Hawaiian — and that says a lot since I usually fall squarely into the no-pineapple-on-pizza camp. Here owner Ben Roberts approaches the classic combo of ham and fruit with a bit of finesse using thin pyramids of pineapple (not those godforsaken chunks from a can) to undercut the richness of not Canadian bacon but cubes of meaty SPAM, a beloved breakfast staple in my family. Slices of jalapeno contribute a smoldering spice to every bit with the result being a Hawaiian slice that skewers neither too sweet nor too meaty. A remarkable feat. Pizza Supreme Being, 1425 14th Street, Ste C, Sacramento." - Lauren Saria
