A Pizzeria in Napa? Yes, you’re reading this correctly!  You won’t get “half pepperoni half plain” pies at this pizza joint though.  Richard Reddington, infamous for his Michelin star restaurant, REDD, located down the road, opened this casual pizza centric restaurant just three months ago.  It’s located in the charming North Block hotel off the main drag in Yountville.  There’s an open kitchen and a wood burning oven where you can watch the magic happen.  You’ll find authentic Italian dishes from suppli (fried rice/risotto balls with mozzarella – a staple in Rome) in a lamb bolognese sauce to proper Neapolitan style pizza (thick deliciously thick crust and a thin center).  The apps range from spring vegetable salad (pictured below with fresh bibb lettuce, beans, carrot, zucchini, radish) to different types of charcuterie and cheeses.   Pizza choices include a classic Margherita and more decadent options such as lardo with mushroom, spinach, and fontina, to even a clam chowder- esque pizza consisting of clams potatoes, leeks, and garlic.
