The pizza is made in a wood fired oven and is a fantastic sourdough, so good for the gluten intolerant too!! They sell out early online, so recommend ordering early or going in person to order if so and picking up after if it’s sold out. It’s a nice place to dine too, but not loads of seats…

Exercise and dog walks
The creek and trail in under the bank the house is on and leads to a beach less than 10 mins away. It also goes North through the woods on the opposite side of the house for a change of scenery. It's not off leash by city rules until you get to the beach, but if your dog is chilled most people walk the dog off leash anyway. There are poo bags half way in case of emergency. Deer, Owls, Racoons and wildlife is in abundance here
