More slices after the jump…🍕
What’s on it: A huitlacoche and garlic base, asparagus, mushrooms, provolone, mozzarella, and cilantro.
When you can eat it: April 18-22, 4-9pm. Vegetarian, with gluten-free option available; whole pies and takeout allowed.
What they say: “We are using huitlacoche as a base sauce. Huitlacoche is a fungus that grows on corn with a very earthy quality and is considered the Mexican truffle. It’s amazing in a cheese quesadilla—so why not on a pizza! We’re going to use wild and commercial mushrooms and asparagus as well. We’ll be using some in-season things for our pie.”

When you can eat it: April 17-22, 11 am-10 pm. Limit two slices per person; takeout available.
What they say: “Following traditional Al Pastor preparation, tender pork loin is dredged and marinated in guajillo chiles and spices and oven roasted. Pineapple is added on a tomato sauce base, and the pie is finished with onions and fresh cilantro garnish.”

All that glitter is gold.”
