pizza fusion opens in hillcrest

hillcrest has a new pizza joint with the opening of pizza fusion on 5th in the old guild theater. i like the interior, especially the bar in the corner, which made me wonder why there aren't more pizza places with beer on tap (apart from basic, of course). apparently the interior materials are all eco-friendly, and that extends to the cool bathroom too.
my server was fast and attentive, and the personal pizza was up quickly, along with my hefewiezen. pizza fusion serves up organic food, and has soy cheese as an option, or else i wouldn't be able to eat the stuff. the meat pizza was the perfect lunch after biking all over north park and hillcrest; i'm not sure if i can say the same about the beer, but it went fine with the pizza. unfortunately it's not cheap - $15 for the above - but if you're with a group splitting a pie will bring the price down.



pizza fusion's a smart addition to the hillcrest dining scene, and you have to hand it to them for the whole enviro thing. lots of material on their website and blog about organics, supporting local breweries and growers, and their menu makes clear that they're looking out for the gluten and lactose-deficient among us, along with the veg's. even with the current challenging economic climate, i'm planning on enjoying this place for a long time to come.
