Marie Petulla, the founder of Italian restaurant and wine bar Union Restaurant, has brought U Street Pizza to Old Town Pasadena. The casual neighborhood pizza joint features New York-style pizza made with high-quality, market-driven ingredients from throughout the state.
It is open for dine-in, pick-up, and delivery.
Led by Executive Chef Chris Keyser, UNION’s executive chef and a protege of Philly’s Marc Vetri, U Street Pizza will pay homage to the pies Keyser grew up with in upstate New York, but with a distinctly L.A. spin.
Served with the dough that is fermented for over two days and made from a blend of artisanal wheat from Washington and Vermont, U Street pizzas will be layered with California-grown tomatoes, topped with produce from local farms, and finished with 18-month aged Fiscalini cheddar.
Rounding out the menu are rotating seasonal salads.
Looking to be the ideal spot for families, pizza connoisseurs, and everyone in between, U Street Pizza will be open daily from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m for indoor and outdoor dining, pick-up, and delivery. Looking ahead, they will open for lunch with beer, wine, and cocktails coming soon.
U Street Pizza is located next door to Union Restaurant at 33 E. Union St. in Pasadena and is open seven days a week from 4:00 p.m.-10:00 p.m.
