The Heart of Our Kitchen
100% Coal-Fired
Our 7-foot diameter, 6,500-pound coal-fired oven runs at 850-900°F, producing crisp Neapolitan-style pies in just 3-4 minutes.
No gas. No shortcuts. Just pure coal fire craftsmanship that gives our pizza its signature char and smoky depth.

The Kitchen
Craft Without Pretense
Chef Oscar Garcia learned his craft in South Oceanside kitchens. The approach is simple: local farms we trust, techniques that matter, nothing for show.
Cyclops Farms, Seaco Catch, Katie's Produce. We refresh the menu each season to match what's growing. When the ingredients change, so do the dishes.
