A note from the shop

Walk-in only, for now.

We just opened, and the line has been bigger than we planned for. So for right now there are no phone orders, no delivery, and no online ordering. Every pie goes to the person standing at the counter, in the order they got there. It keeps the pizza right and the wait honest.

Thank you for your patience while we grow into this. When that changes, @eatowp is the first place we’ll say so.

The pies.

20 inches · New York-style
★The classic

Cheese Pizza

Tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, crisp edge, tender middle. The pie everything else gets judged against.

★Cup & crisp

Pepperoni Pizza

Pepperoni that curls into little crispy cups while it bakes. The cups are the whole point.

★Fresh

Burrata & Basil Pizza

Creamy burrata torn over the top, fresh basil on everything. Rich meets bright on one crust.

★No pine nuts

Pesto Pizza

House basil pesto, made without pine nuts, laid on thick, with fresh ricotta on top. Green, bold, and very hard to share.

★Spicy · hot honey

Ja Pep Ricotta Pizza

Jalapeño, pepperoni, ricotta. Cupping pepperoni, fresh jalapeños, fresh ricotta, and hot honey on the side. Sweet, hot, cool. Repeat.

★Green meets red

Pesto Pepperoni Pizza

The pesto pie with cupping pepperoni on top. Herby, salty, and gone before it cools.

Coming soon

Meat Lovers, the Meatza, bring friends or don’t. And Pepperoni Sausage, together at last. Both landing on the board soon.

★ Every pie is 20 inches, New York-style, and potassium bromate free. Slices move fast at the counter, come early.

★ Good to know

Potassium bromate free.

Every pie, every day. Potassium bromate is a flour additive some bakeries use for a quicker, bigger rise. It is banned in the EU, the UK and Canada, and California is phasing it out too. It is not in our dough, and we think that is worth saying out loud.
