About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Charming
  • Good for groups
A kindly-crafted wood fired eatery combining modern style with an aged finish. Located at The Creamery Marketplace, tucked behind the intersection of Higuera and Nipomo Streets, we offer an experience unlike any other. Our open-concept kitchen boasts an impressive wood fired oven were we craft hand-made Neapolitan style pizzas to order. Soft lighting, low music, and a relaxed atmosphere can be found throughout our indoor dining space. Garage style doors roll up to reveal outdoor dining on our bricked patio where heaters warm up the cooler months and an upbeat, lively feeling resonates throughout the spring and summer seasons. Full service is available at the bar, seating is first come, first serve. We welcome you to join us for dinner, Tuesday-Saturday from 4-10pm.

Please Note: Our seating is a mix of tall tables with barstool style seating, as well as standard height tables with traditional chairs. Our outdoor patio also includes two large tables with bench style seating.

    I hate to leave this review as this was one of my go to spots in SLO. I have been coming hear since they opened and the prices keep going up and the portions are getting smaller. The salads especially are at least half the size as they used to be and it’s now comical that they bring tongs to “share” the salad. It’s the size of a small dinner salad for $16!! Nothing special just a small salad that’s now very overpriced. The pizza was ok. It’s usually amazing but this time something was just a little different and not in a good way. Makes me sad but not sure we will return any time soon.

    It’s in a cute spot and the place was super busy on a Sunday night but the service was terrible. It took 25 mins to get two glasses of wine and one was brought out as a white wine when we ordered a red. We had the meatballs and a pizza with a gluten free crust. It was generally all lacking in flavor/seasoning.
