Very good pizza.

Carbonara is my favorite dish to test out an Italian place with and this place has probably the 5th best carbonara in SLO. That is to say it was disappointing. Pork they used wasn't cured, basically pan fried pork belly. Sauce was lacking in both cheese and salt. House made pasta deserves better.

Delicious pizza, super friendly, will definitely be going back soon

Worst meatball I ever had. Very hard, lumpy and dense as well as bland tasting. Grease is litterally oozing out of them when cutting into them. Definitely not worth the $5 they charge for it.

As you know, pizza is all about the base. This one has it all. Both chewy and crunchy. Great toppings. And cool, courteous and efficient staff.

Everything is delicious and made from scratch. There are so many vegetarian options to choose from, and many of the menu options can be made vegan as well. Even as a brand new business with new staff, they have consistently made great food with friendly service.

This place is so bomb! Fresh pies and it’s really cool to be able to walk around and enjoy them! Glad to see them here!

Excited to have a pizza place nearby! We've been looking forward to the Market for years now, and it's really fun seeing all the restaurants begin to open up and dial in their dishes. They also have pasta and salads, but we went with a Pesto pizza and a Bell Pepperoni pizza for our first visit.Dough: Well proofed, nice airy texture. Would have personally preferred a slower ferment to really develop the flavor, especially since the corniciones (crust) on both pizzas we received were quite large.Toppings: High quality, but would actually prefer a bit less on both pizzas. It seemed a bit unbalanced compared to the pretty thin crusts, and the Pesto pizza was quite oily- more so than the Bell Pepperoni! We both felt that the Pesto pizza would have also been better if the pancetta was crisped up a bit prior to going on the pizza. The pepperoni cupped, which I know is very important to some people, and the sweetie drop peppers were a nice touch to balance it out.Sauce: The tomato sauce is simple and uncooked, to showcase the quality of the tomatoes they're using. The pesto is really fresh and vibrant!Cooking: Left a bit to be desired, but probably due to how new this location is. It takes time to get used to a new oven, so I'm sure they'll continue to improve here. That said, the undersides of the pizzas we received were a bit inconsistent, and the tops of the pizzas would benefit from a bit more heat. (going lighter on the toppings would also help with this)Overall, I see a lot of potential, and I plan to give them another try after they've settled in a bit.Update 2/4/22: Gave the Pesto pizza another try, still very oily.

Excellent pizza overall! Love the dough recipe they use for the crust and it’s all fresh made from scratch.

Amazing pizza and pasta! Staff was friendly and attentive. Service was really fast. Highly recommend
