The flower-ringed patio on University Avenue is not accidental: this is Rose Pizzeria, and it commits to the bit. Thin, crispy pies here borrow from every regional tradition and answer to none of them, landing somewhere between Neapolitan char and California confidence. The Caesar with miso and Calabrian chiles is the kind of side dish that makes you forget you ordered pizza. A spot on 50 Top Pizza USA keeps the room lively most nights.

Reed sauce
“Try the Reed Sauce, which has smoked mozzarella and pickled jalapeños, or the Old Faithful, an homage to Chicago red sauce pies with sausage and red peppers.”
