Specializing in organic grains and seasonal ingredients, All Souls Pizza strives to build a locally-oriented menu in the interest of strengthening community ties through quality cuisine and company. The restaurant’s staff clearly places great thought into every item that graces the menu and all ingredients are of exceptional quality. The result? Gourmet pizza, as you’ve never had it before.
The restaurant uses self-milled flour and polenta in all of the pizzas it serves. All bread comes from nearby Farm & Sparrow Bakery, where it is baked fresh every day. Expect plenty of toppings on your pizza; skimping is never a problem here.
All Souls Pizza serves dinner most nights and both lunch and dinner on the weekend. Although it utilizes different menus for these mealtimes, there is a lot of overlap between early afternoon and evening offerings.
If you prefer to drink a cold beer alongside your pizza, you’re in luck — All Souls Pizza maintains a regularly rotating list of local craft beers. You are also welcome to order a glass of wine alongside your artisanal meal.
Despite serving gourmet, locally-sourced meals, All Souls Pizza maintains a decidedly laid-back ambience. This is the type of place where you can enjoy exceptional quality food without feeling the need to dress up.
Although the restaurant is undeniably cozy inside, it’s worth requesting outside seating when the weather cooperates. The outdoor seating is particularly favorable for parties with rambunctious kids who just want to goof off while they wait for their meal.
