Great Neopolitan style brick-oven pizza. Gluten Free and Vegan options available if you prefer those options to the other high quality imported Italian ingredients they use (like "00" flour" and buffalo mozzarella), and you can also bring your own wine or beer to the patio to enjoy with your pizza. Super delicious quality ingredients here, no matter what you order. I highly recommend this place for a local neighborhood casual delicious pizza/meal. A 0.6 mile walk from my home.

I used to live in Naples, Italy as a kid. This is the BEST Neopolitan style pizza (in America) I have ever had. If you like an authentic Napoletana Pizza then this is the place for you. Incredibly good, and very well priced. Go to the "happy hour" for $6 pizzas (& discounted drinks) Monday through Friday 3PM to 6PM. Or, go for "Margherita Monday's" , for $5 Margherita Pizzas -- after 6PM on Mondays only.

The Echoplex is physically connected to its upstairs neighbor, the Echo, but it's so much larger and into its own thing that it has a separate back-alley entrance and a different street address. Reggae, hip-hop, funk, LGBT and other dance nights trade off with live concerts. The large stage, full sound system and dark lighting make the Echoplex an appropriate venue for big concerts, as well as spoken-word slams, beer and wine tastings, and even rollerskating. Full bar plus a smoking patio. Age limit varies. Street parking, with more parking available in a nearby metered public lot.
