Hazelnut pesto on pizza is either a bold move or a disaster, and the Vernick alums behind this casual pizza and pasta spot in University City have clearly decided it's the former. The pies get the headlines, but the pastas and meaty mains pull equal weight. Two Locals beer is on tap next door, the crowd skews young, and the whole thing has the easy energy of a neighborhood spot that hasn't yet been ruined by its own reputation.
