"Tar & Roses is a fancy Santa Monica restaurant that had only limited takeout options before the pandemic, but now, they’ve gone all-in. They’ve pared down the menu to the classics that work best for takeout, like the oxtail dumplings, balsamic-glazed ribs, and a shellfish pot, and, for the first time, added pizzas to the menu. They’re Neapolitan-style, and served with toppings like confit duck with hoisin sauce, ’nduja and roasted pineapple, or fennel sausage with piquillo peppers. Available for pick-up and delivery." - brett keating
