Pizza crust is a

baked good. It

shouldn’t be

treated like a

measly vehicle for

pizza toppings. At

Roots, we do it

right, using a

dark-roasted malt

that makes for a

crust you won’t

find anywhere else.

Hand-thrown dough

makes for a nicely

imperfect texture

that, out of the

oven, gives you a

little something

different with

every bite. Oh, and

it looks cool when

we do it.

We worked hard for

this one. It’s a

deep, red sauce

with no chunks and

a little spicy

heat. But that’s

all we can tell

you. The rest is a

secret.

We use only the

freshest, locally

sourced toppings on

our pizza. And when

we say local, we

mean we make our

own sausage, right

here in our own

kitchen.

When it’s all done

and out of the

oven, we take

a big pair of

scissors and cut

the whole thing

into strips. No

reason, really.

It’s just what

Greg grew up with.
