"A mainstay in North County, Blue Ribbon was an early practitioner of California’s now-signature style of pizza topped with seasonal ingredients. The wood-fired pie shop is the brainchild of chef Wade Hageman, who opened the pizzeria in 2010 after a career in fine dining. The exposed wood beams on the ceiling and brick-lined bar give the spot a homey, relaxed vibe." - Darlene Horn, Candice Woo
