PIZZA domenica · Uptown
A pizza-and-antipasti restaurant on Magazine Street cooking wood-fired pies in a custom oven shipped from Italy. The pizzas range from white anchovy with Calabrese peppers to pork shoulder with fennel and bacon, and the antipasti and salads round out a full meal. A spinoff of Domenica that puts the pizza program front and center.
Sofia · Warehouse District
A Warehouse District Italian restaurant on Julia Street known for handmade pastas and wood-fired pizzas. The blistered pies share the menu with a broader run of Italian plates, making it a sit-down option rather than a pizza-counter stop. The gallery-district setting draws an art-walk and pre-theater crowd.
