Pizza Today - August 2022 - 24

DESTINATIONS
Talula's
Talula has garnered a reputation
for the care and love they put
into every aspect of the business.
" We source the best possible
ingredients and make as much in
house from scratch as we possibly
can, including our sourdough
bread, ice cream, vegan cheese,
pickles, preserves and other
ferments, " says co-owner Shanti
Mignogna. " We put the same
level of thoughtfulness into our
beverage menu with a unique
natural wine list, local beers on
draft and in cans, rotating craft
cocktails, high quality coffee
and loose-leaf tea program,
and house-made soft drinks,
including seasonal shrubs and
herbal tonics. We make a 12inch
sourdough pie that could be
compared to Neapolitan although
it's definitely #notNeapolitan.
We use a combination of organic
and farmer ground. We use a
gas-fired stone hearth oven. We
also do high hydration square
pies on Wednesdays and also
offer them for catering orders.
I like to describe them as a mix
between Detroit and Sicilian, but
high hydration (like 90%+) and
sourdough. We also make a gluten
free sourdough square, which
we're so so happy with. Right
now, our customers are stoked
we brought back Show Me Your
Bloobz which is a summer pie with
pickled blueberries, fontina, feta,
honey caramelized red onion,
lemon and micro mint. Some
favorites on the lunch menu are
our vegan kale Caesar and smoky
tofu sandwich. And during brunch
it's our pastrami hash bowl and
lemon ricotta fritters. Hands down
most ordered cocktail is the Gin
& Jam which has been on the
menu since we opened in October
2014. "
