ClipperBlog Eats: Pizzanista!

Pizzanista!

Before each home game this season, ClipperBlog will run “ClipperBlog Eats,” a restaurant recommendation from its resident restaurant reviewer, Ben Mesirow. Below is today’s suggestion:

Is your neighborhood slice joint a little too buttoned-up? Do you wish your waiter had one or two more sleeve tattoos, or that the guy behind the register had just a little more sass? Then let us introduce you to the pizzeria you’ve been looking for all along – Pizzanista, the tiny punk-rock pizza shop attached to Tony’s Saloon in the Arts District.

The mood is celebratory whether you come at 5 on Tuesday or 10 on Friday, skater kids and downtown businessmen filling the inside and spilling out onto the sidewalk, immaculately scruffy artists on Tinder dates with gorgeous nose-ringed hipster girls standing around, checking out the beer selection, waiting for the dude working the room to run around shouting their name, his hands full of scalding-hot slices.
