“Forno” is the Italian word for oven. Given that 54 Mint Forno Italiano would be nothing without its pizza oven, it’s a fitting name for the Italian restaurant. Artisan pizzas headline the menu, a mix of red and white pies. They mingle with fresh pasta dishes, lighter antipasti, and classic salads.

If you want to try one of the red pizzas, savor a slice of the classic margherita, topped simply with tomato, mozzarella, and fresh basil. You can also devour the San Daniele, sprinkled with crispy prosciutto, or the Bismarck, featuring Niman Ranch bacon and a farm-fresh egg. When it comes to the white pies, they skip the tomato in favor of a strictly cheesy mozzarella base with toppings like cherry tomatoes and arugula (the Campana) or mushrooms, sausage, and truffle pecorino (the Norcina).
