Oak & Rye in Los Gatos, California

The Loverboy with jalapeno topping

This place is a lot of fun (303 North Santa Cruz Avenue, 408-395-4441). It's a pizza place run by former Batali and Roberta's alumni, and the dough was surprisingly chewy and moist, so much that it was reminiscent of mochi. I liked it a lot, especially since they knew exactly what they were doing with the toppings. The pies were edgy yet balanced, and got a fun assist from a number of whiskey-based cocktails (hence where the name comes from). The service was good, the prices were reasonable, and the venue in downtown Los Gatos was cute. I'd be happy to come back here again.
