Not Hitting the Sauce

Some like it saucy. But if you like it flatbread-y and extra cheesy, then San Francisco's Arizmendi is for you.

Pictured here is today's delicata squash, fontina cheese, walnuts, and herb oil. I know what you're thinking. That must be some kind of fancy-ass pizza for the liberal elite. Named for a Basque labor organizer and owned by its workers, Arizmendi Bakery actually supplies us with socialist pizza. It is probably Kenyan and anti-colonial as well. Yikes.

At $2.50 a slice, the pizza at Arizmendi Bakery is one of the most enticing deals in town. Featuring organic ingredients, seasonal vegetables, and a thin, crispy sourdough crust that is lightly dusted with cornmeal, pizza flavors change daily. As you can see, each order includes a mama slice and a baby companion slice. Where do you begin? (I always eat the little guy first.)
