The Scene
Stylish Outer Richmondites who crowd into this tiny butter-colored pizzeria would love to keep it a secret. With just four tables flanked by striped banquettes inside, plus four seats at the short bar overlooking the open kitchen, the atmosphere (even when there's a bit of wait) is warm and casual.

The Food
The crust on the individual-sized delights is shatteringly crisp and can be measured in microns, while toppings are earthy and richly flavored. The menu changes weekly, taking advantage of seasonal produce, most of which is organic and local. The cheeses, too, are chosen with care. Fiori Sardo sheep cheese combined with pine nuts and rosemary makes an elegant, addictive pizza. But the ultimate pie is simple: tomato, mozzarella and basil that bursts with freshness. Desserts are all house-made and Italian in character, including a golden polenta cake with seasonal fruit.
