Redwood Pie

The tangy sourdough pizzas at Redwood Pie are so good, we burned our mouths inhaling a slice hot from the oven. We regret absolutely nothing. The New York-ish style pies at this simple counter-service pizzeria in Hermosa deliver the best of both worlds: crusts that are crisp and nearly burnt on the edges and chewy-soft in the center. Their hand-crushed tomato sauce is tart and pulpy, like someone went Incredible Hulk on a can of San Marzanos, but they also know their way around a white pie, including one perked up with lots of pickled peppers and spicy sausage. We’ve already tasted enough to make the call—best pizza in the South Bay.
