 šŸ½ļø 1 Restaurant to Try  

  • Where: 163 W Santa Clara St, San Jose, CA 95113

  • Description: Since finding his passion for pizza at a local SJ pizzeria over 20 years ago, chef and founder Steven B. hasnā€™t looked back. While pizzas here arenā€™t cheap (a slice costs around $10), there are hundreds of reviews raving about their unique flavors and deliciousness as ā€œthe epitome of pizza.ā€ Pro tip: itā€™s only a 15-minute walk from MOMENT Paseo, so grab a slice before heading over!
