"The city kinda sleeps on this place, possibly because it’s hard to grok from the street that there’s pizza in there. Maybe folks think it’s still a Quiznos? Follow your nose inside to find pretty much the scientific opposite of that: a wood-fired pizza oven, a menu of creative pies and small plates made with thoughtful, high-qual ingredients, and a list of eclectic craft beers from its sister biz, Fast Fashion Brewing, which has a tasting room right next door. Although it’s easy to focus on the showy Neapolitan pizzas here, it’s important that you don’t skip the tender, slightly spicy meatballs, served as a quartet in a bowl of pretty spectacular marinara. Unless you’re vegan, which, if so, you’re in luck — the Masonry has a killer vegan pie, dressed simply but powerfully with fresh basil, hot oil, and garlic." - Meg van Huygen
