PIZZA TUESDAYS

Our interpretation of gingerbread, sugarplums & peppermint: Ginger-mint pesto (with cashews, fresh ginger & mint leaves, garlic & sugar), shaved manchego cheese, pine nuts, roasted plums (with sugar, butter, and a toasted hazelnut topping), arugula Admittedly, this pizza is a loose interpretation of Christmas flavors. Ginger-mint pesto represents both gingerbread and peppermint (you know, candy canes, etc.), and while our sugar-roasted plums are not what was originally intend

Fresh mozzarella, sautéed spinach & shallots, pan-fried spiced celeriac (with cinnamon, nutmeg, Moroccan spice blend, cayenne, lemon juice & zest), shredded pecorino romano, Meyer lemon slices, pomegranate seeds Meyer lemons are a great find at this time of year.
