Slice of Life
It’s a good time for pizza — brick ovens, gluten-free dough, creative toppings.
Go out and grab a slice, or a whole pie, at one of these spots.
BAR BOCCE A bayfront fire pit
and bocce ball court make for a
special slice, and, somehow, the
thin-crust pizzas still steal the
show. (Sausalito) barbocce.com
FARMSHOP A brick oven —
positioned near the full bar
— churns out artisanal pies
replete with local cheese
and toppings. (Larkspur)

MULBERRY STREET
PIZZERIA This restaurant is
named for Mulberry Street in
Manhattan’s Little Italy, and

family-owned. (San Rafael)

offerings is topped off by some
serious atmosphere. Try the

LUNCH FOR LESS
Lunch isn’t the meal on
which to blow your buck.
Fortunately, these county
establishments know a
thing or two about eating
on the cheap, satiating
your midday cravings for
$10 or less.
AMBERJACK SUSHI Lunch Box
combos make medleys of tempura,
teriyaki, sushi and sashimi a lunchtime steal, each served with rice,
miso soup and salad for around $9.

will keep you coming back for
more. (Mill Valley) 415.381.3008

linger longer — when enjoyed alfresco.
