oscar pizza

we joined some friends for an oscar party and chose to partake in one of mamma's brick oven pizzas.

the BIG one.

it was awesome!

the farmer and the cook

after spending our first day in ojai in the fields helping out at the organic farm, we headed in to town to sample some of the fruits of our labor at the farmer and the cook - an incredible vegetarian restaurant that is the culinary arm of the organic farm.  the photo above shows my pizza, and if it doesn't look tasty enough in print, let me assure you that it was an incredible thing to eat.

tarantino's pizzeria

the other night we sampled this green street pizza joint with some friends. needless to say, i forgot to take a photo of the beautiful pizzas before we had devoured a good majority of the slices.

we had been hearing about this place almost as long as we've lived in pasadena (everyone always reminds us "be careful if you go - it is cash only!") but for some reason we never tried it. maybe because it is a little off the beaten path, or maybe because we rarely walk down green street when we're hungry. but whatever the reason, we should have been there a long time ago.

the pizza was wonderful, and the waiters were friendly. despite the tiny space, they were willing to accommodate two young couples, each with a baby in tow. it might just be my new favorite pizza place in the 'dena.
