Some pizzerias take pride in having huge menus. Others, like Unit D Pizzeria, takes pride in keeping the offerings "deliberately concise," focusing on excelling at a handful of winning dishes. This pizzeria, which opened about two weeks ago in a spot that's less than a half mile from Elan East, seems to have hit a home run with this formula, if reviews are any indication — diners praise the well-curated menu.
Start your meal with the kale salad, which features pickled peaches, golden raisins, and millet, before moving onto the cheese and charcuterie board. When it comes to pizza, the mushroom pie has its share of fans, but reviews agree that you can't go wrong with any of the pizzas here. They're all thin-crust Neapolitan style pies made by hand by chef Chris Turgeon.
The atmosphere is casual but upscale, with dark, curved wood as well as stellar service. Note that Unit D doesn't deliver or offer takeout, so reserve this place for when you're in the mood to sit down and enjoy a meal in the dining room. Chances are you'll be happy with your choice!
