To me, it’s utilizing California elements and infusing Mexican cooking strategies. With this month’s recipe, we’ll just do that. California is a gold mine for wonderful produce. I can’t consider how a lot totally different the produce tastes right here. It’s actually one thing particular. Our new pizzeria is positioned within the Lantern district in Dana Level, and one main avenue that connects by is called Golden Lantern. I named this pizza after that avenue in honor of this metropolis, it’s folks and for all of our workers who name this place dwelling. We use smoked mozzarella as a base, chipotle marinated rooster, pineapple pickled peppers, citrus pickled onions, cilantro, and naturally the king of all California, the avocado.
