Whereas most purists go for a cheese and sausage, the combinations at Pizzeria Bebu are so appealing, diners usually order more than one pizza because deciding is a welcome conundrum. Whatever you order - the Peter Piper; a Hot Daisy; a house-made meatball with giardiniera, ricotta, Parmesan - know that ingredients are lolling atop a perfectly charred yet nicely chewy crust. Another great feature? Pizzas, all 14-inch, can be done as half and half. The market pizza changes often, salads are generously sized and seasonal veg - like asparagus with fennel crema, breadcrumbs and lemon zest - make a nice addition to a pizza feast. By the way, Bebu earned a spot on the Michelin Bib Gourmand list in 2019.
Bebu serves brunch weekends until 2 p.m. It's closed on Tuesday and Wednesday so calm your pizza jones for the other five days of the week.

- Pizza: "Weekends can be busy so make a reservation. If you're thirsty after all that cheese, Off Color Brewery's taproom is a block away."
- Best for Pizza Because: Chef Jeff Lutzow cold ferments his crusts before baking in a brick-lined oven resulting in uniformly charred exceptional crusts.
