Heard about this neighborhood hotspot from a friend, OMG Must try. It is located in a converted house on E. Arroyo just west of S Wells. There is parking on the street and behind the business or in the driveway. You enter from the side or back patio area into the restaurant. They had several tables on the patio and heaters but being January, it wasn't being used, I can't want until spring. Once inside it was remodeled and open with booth tables against the wall. A large bench with four 2 person tables along the center length. On the other side of center wall, several high tables. We had 7 in our group and they put together the bench tables. It is counter service to order food and drinks, kinda self serve but makes it more like being at home, with amazing food coming out of the kitchen. We ordered the Conservas and Olives with Labneh, sorry no pictures, it arrived and was gone almost immediately. Both were extremely and surprisingly good for some new to experience sardines or green olives. I could easily eat a full appetizer of either. We then received our salad, Kale Caesar that we again shared, very fresh produce and great flavor. Now for the pizza, the reason we went there, it is a thin crust wood fired oven cooked delight. We ordered the Margherita, Rojo Tone and Meatball Pie, all extremely good, perfectly prepared, the crust was crispy and full of flavor. The group favorites were the Rojo Tone, tied with the Margherita. The Meatball was really good but slightly beat out by the other two. Two in our group ordered the Paper Plane cocktail, which they enjoyed and said was very good. After dinner we shared a couple of the soft serve's for desert, on this evening they had Vanilla and Cherry, flavors can change, both extremely good. The staff was very helpful, friendly, again it gave that at a friend's house feeling. The price for 7 people was fair and very reasonable. This place has a happy hour, 4-6 pm with daily specials. I was surprised just how busy it got, they are open from 4pm -9pm and after 6 it was like standing room only. We noticed they do a lot of take out orders also. Everyone was talking about coming back soon, two are from Boston, they said it was a must visit next time in town.
