About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem
  • Good for groups
  • Great for outdoor dining
A kindly-crafted wood fired eatery combining modern style with an aged finish. Located at The Creamery Marketplace, tucked behind the intersection of Higuera and Nipomo Streets, we offer an experience unlike any other. Our open-concept kitchen boasts an impressive wood fired oven were we craft hand-made Neapolitan style pizzas to order. Soft lighting, low music, and a relaxed atmosphere can be found throughout our indoor dining space. Garage style doors roll up to reveal outdoor dining on our bricked patio where heaters warm up the cooler months and an upbeat, lively feeling resonates throughout the spring and summer seasons. Full service is available at the bar, seating is first come, first serve. We welcome you to join us for dinner, Tuesday-Saturday from 4-10pm.

Please Note: Our seating is a mix of tall tables with barstool style seating, as well as standard height tables with traditional chairs. Our outdoor patio also includes two large tables with bench style seating.

    Wipes Flour House out the ballpark. EASILY. Unfortunately they messed up our order which I didn’t mind, but they gave us a pizza and salad on the house and subtracted an item off our check to make up for it. VERY kind. In all my experiences here, all the staff are really friendly and outgoing! Really good food and proportions. If you can’t get a reservation, you can wait to sit at the bar. Great place, great pizza. Must try in SLO fs.

    Food was fantastic, probably the best pizza in the local area - I will say the Detroit style pizza is the only way to go. Service was good. I recommend the  ricotta, and honey pizza.

    We are not normally “foodies” but this was 11 out of 10 experience made us feel like it! • We ordered two chopped salads that were fresh and had the perfect amount of dressing • Then we had amazing Neapolitan-style Greek pizza with the freshest of ingredients like chopped peppers, Kalmata olives, feta cheese, mozzarella cheese & tomatoes of course, but it was the thin, perfect slightly-burnt crust that made it a delicious “high end” pizza. As a person from New Haven, CT, it’s often hard to find great pizza elsewhere, but this was the real deal! • We had the local craft beer IPA and a California Pinot that were both delicious. • It felt like a very healthy farm-to-table kind of a vibe and they let us bring our dog on the patio under the cool Edison lights. And the patio was kid friendly for the family next to us. • To top it off, the service was very friendly and attentive. Top notch! A perfect meal after a long road trip!!
