I am so impressed with the decor! and the food is outstanding. an extraordinary place!
the pizza has an amazingly simple and wonderful sauce. I want a jar of the sauce to take home.

If your first reaction regarding the opening of another pizza joint in SOWAL was something along the lines of "great, just what we need:roll:", forget about it.
Pizza Bar is a wholly different place than any of the other pizza operations in our area. Indeed, it is a different pizzeria from anything one might find between Jacksonville and probably Houston.
Forget about screaming kids, frozen dough, red and white checkerboard vinyl tablecloths and drippy candles in chianti bottles. This restaurant is sleek and comfortable and turns out a fantastic product. Don't look for breadstix and dipping sauce, this is fresh food made by people who know what they are doing. I don't think the word pepperoni is even on the menu.
I might add it is a great value for Seaside fare. We had two pizzas, two glasses of good wine and a salad and the tab was about $50. That isn't much more than one would pay for the same items at a wildly popular pizzeria just a stone's throw away from Pizza Bar, but the product is worth every extra penny. Compared to some of the other culinary ventures in Seaside, past and present, I think it may be the most exceptional bargain in the town's history. I must point out that we were expecting a much smaller pizza than we received, so we ended up taking home a box full of leftovers (one pizza is plenty for two, in other words!).
I am looking forward to a return visit already.

I plan on trying the place out on Thursday. I'm looking forward to it. I'm a pizza snob and Skunky has me sold already.
This guy is nuts!! I'll talk to ed about olio picante
Kirk, is it just olive oil and red pepper flakes or are there fresh peppers in it?

...this thread has brought out the food "critics" like nothing I have seen! Wonderful reading. Thanks!Dave...another home run for you and for us! I am counting down the days to sample the wonderful menu! Bravo!
Just dried flakes like you usually see in a shaker. The link I posted above has a recipe and more info.
As you know, olive oil is a delicacy as well as a staple in Italy. Trying different oils in different regions is as serious as wine tastings. Every oil is different and unique, even from orchard to orchard. Families and companies take great pride in their products and the variety is overwhelming. The real stuff is hard to get and very expensive in the US.
In most pizzerias I have enjoyed in Italy, there was a bottle of olio on the table, and most people would pour it over the pizza before chowing down. And the pie is almost always eaten with knife and fork. More often than not though I would have to ask for olio picante, and they would promptly bring it out.
I imagine if you had it on your tables people wouldn't know what it was for, but you might want a little on hand to try it out for yourself if you can find an oil you like.
as long as we're making suggestions for Dave who already has the perfect restaurant and menu in place (no kidding)... why can't we have a side of capellini with that wonderful wonderful tomato sauce found on the pizza? sorry, I'm a pasta freak. I'm not complaining - I can very happily enjoy the wood fired pizza in the absence of pasta because its truly fantastico!
