A lively bar scene gives this sliver of an eatery the feel of a neighborhood hangout. But this is no pub-grub joint. Greek-inspired small plates and wood-oven pizzas are all about herbs, crunch, spice, and tang. (The owners are Tail Up Goat alums.) Classic cheese pizza is everything it should be, with a gutsy red sauce and hits of mozzarella and Parmesan, while variations such as a halloumi-spinach-squash pie also wow. And don’t forget bookends like lemony gigante beans with crispy breadcrumbs or caramel-drizzled walnut-apple cake.
