Nicky D's Wood-Fried Pizza (Silver Lake)

Food 05: Silver Lake

Joan wrote about this place before. It's my turn now (with better photos ;D).

From the outside it looked like a small front-counter only operation, who knows it's so cozy inside full of Italian retro-charm (with patio garden seatings at the back too). The giant wood oven occupied half of the interior.

Individual size ($8) Pesto Bravo: pesto pie with sausage, roasted red pepper, goat cheese, roasted garlic. This is so incredibly delicious! Fresh from oven, so hot and golden. I can't resist devouring the garlic too. Love the thin crust that's crispy but soft inside. A bit loaded with oil though.

Another individual size pizza (perfect to share between 2 and get to try more flavor than order 1 full size): Garlic Clam (white sauce). Peppered with salted seafood flavors, so good!

Somehow the waitress heard wrong and brought us the plain Pesto pizza: just cheese and pesto. It's not in my character to ever order plain pizza like that...^^;; After I asked "is this Pesto Bravo? I remember it has long list of toppings..." they immediately re-baked me a new pizza.
