Chef Frank is serving all your favorite Wood-fired Pizzas!  These are 12” pizzas on their local honey and extra virgin olive oil dough. Fans rave about his Crispy Parmesan Brussel Sprouts tossed in shaved Paemigiano cheese with lemon and garlic butter! You can order his Burger, Loft Salad or Caesar Salad with tossed romaine hearts in a classic citrus Caesar dressing, croutons and shaved Parmesan-Reggiano cheese.
