Congrats! Can't wait to give it a try.

EDIT - I did give it a try and it was excellent - great job by Carol, Dave, David D, Leo, Hamid, and the crew - and all the staff and chef. I added a menu to the previous post. The duneside deck is amazing. I believe it will become one of those places you'll have to experience when in SoWal.

Can't wait for the Thai Bar, or the Sushi Bar or ... (Dave let's trip to Asia for research).

Dave, I'm sure that it will be awesome. I wish it had been open for lunch today. Can't wait to try it next week! My first taste test will be to try your pizza Margherita!;-)

I saw people sitting at the tables, yesterday when I drove down 30A, and wondered if it was a test run, or if you were open. Congratulations on your opening.

so here's the story sowallers and all lovers of greatness. this is REAL pizza - like if you were kickin it in naples 90 years ago - or 200 years ago - or last week. they use imported flour and san marzano tomatoes from italy and an oak fired 800 degree oven. perfect fresh ingredients and guided by chef ed reese as inspired by dude dave... wow! its the new best restaurant in many miles.

i had an onion/shallot pie - my style of pizza. many more to go...

jill poured me a super tuscan available BY THE GLASS!!! i may name a child some day either super or tuscan or maybe sangiovese. and of course the wine comes in a juice glass as all neighbor hood enotecas do in the old parts of american cities - or of course in italy - like pizza bar has been transported from.

chef ed freakin perserves his own yellowfin tuna for ceasar's sake!! tuna conserves with a roasted long stem fresh artichoke - seasoned greens and a slab of grilled bread DRENCHED in olive oil.

our little slice of paradise just became eden and pizza bar just raised your property values by about 30 %.

dang... i can't believe it...so effin good

plus paradis and barefoot bbq and new stinky's and new lake place and shrimp shack and shorty's and jack's pub - how can we all be so lucky!

At the risk of sounding like the doting wife...OMG this place is great. The red and yellow roasted peppers and the artichokes make me cry they are so good. I could eat the caprese salad everyday. Dave had an incredible vision with this one and I have to wonder if he really imagined it this vivid and perfect. I know when he first talked about it last year I never could have imagined what I walked into when the doors opened and the sun came out on Saturday. The family tables and bright red chairs are an inspiration, they scream at passersby to come and join the fun. But wait there's more, we also get bright smiles from Jill and Mike and their front of the house crew bringing us exactly what we need to make it a perfect day.
I have to say though (and maybe I am partial to chefs) my favorite thing about the Pizza Bar is watching the chefs around that wood burning oven getting their groove on. Did they choreograph those moves?
I can't wait to get off work and head down there for a glass of wine and a taste of something fine!
