Cool spot for dine in pizza. Really great bread and crust. Solid cocktails too. If you’re into meaty pizzas, highly recommend the Lady Diavola. Roasted Veggies with the melted manchego are also fab.

Perfectly kitschy Chinese food spot with an incredible interior. Super tasty food that’s great for takeout too. Pro tip: stop by Polite Provisions for a cocktail before or after, or order your food and eat it at Polite Provisions if there’s a long wait. (They’re owned by the same company.) Limited seating, reservation recommended.
