Wheat Penny Oven and Bar

Pizza is fun, informal, celebratory, brings people together, and brings a smile to everybody’s face. We are personal and homemade and this food and atmosphere expresses what we are all about…from the extra swipe of extra virgin olive oil, to fresh snipped herbs; we believe in texture, flavor, and someone to share it with.

Italian restaurants, sub shops, calzone counters and Italian delis sit next to the pizzerias on this site because most of them bake pizza too, often from the same dough. Full-service Italian restaurants take reservations for dinner, add a tip line for table service (15-20% is customary) and usually run a cheaper lunch menu on weekdays. Sub and sandwich shops are counter-order and quick, with sizes by the inch or in half and whole lengths. Calzones and strombolis are priced like a medium pizza and are large enough to share. Italian delis and bakeries sell by weight and by the piece, and many close mid-afternoon.
