There's a whole universe of unique pizza toppings to choose from and, depending on what state or city you're in, your pizza could be round, square, or rectangular. Even the pizza base has moved on from flour-yeast-water to using more exotic ingredients like millets and cauliflower. Point being: the insatiable appetite for pizzas lies in its versatility - but that still doesn't explain why a slice of pizza costs so much in the state of Washington.
Angel's Tijuana Tacos recently introduced its own breakfast burrito, prompting me to make a beeline to its Anaheim location one morning. A staple of SoCal cuisine, I ordered my A.M.-hour beast with a duo of bacon and chorizo, delivering a salty, smoky and slightly spicy bite.

Pizza in padellino originated in Northern Italy but it reminded me of the first deep dish pie I tasted in my adolescence.

The dough got crispy and browned around the edges, bubbling up to form thin edible spikes. But the center remained a pliable and tender chew.

Matt is the co-founder of School of Dough, a wonderful initiative that teaches children in some of Cornwall's least prosperous communities how to cook; he also runs a stall called Salt Yard Pizza at the Boathouse on Newquay harbour. His pizza is some of the best in the country, not just because he's mastered traditional techniques, but because he grows his own tomatoes and basil, and even rears his own mangalitza pigs to turn into charcuterie.
SF isn't a late-night dining town. That's just a fact of life. But there are still great food options-even if those options are slim-for those who are working, drinking, dancing, or swan diving off a table while singing karaoke until late. So when you need something like pizza to offset the sweet margaritas or just want to inhale a burrito before knocking right out, head to one of these spots-they're open past 11pm.
