Style Magazine - September 2021
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? For me, the answer is easy. Pizza. It’s acceptable for breakfast (I take mine fresh out of the fridge), lunch, dinner, and every meal in between. Plus, there’s enough variety (sauces, crusts, baking vessels, toppings) that I don’t think my taste buds would ever find a slice that wasn’t nice. Come to think of it, I’ve never met a pie that didn’t catch my eye; even frozen pizzas are my friend. With that said, some are certainly better than others and receive rave reviews for a reason. In-season ingredients, dough handling, a suitable sauce to cheese ratio…all this, and more, plays into the finished product. In this month’s feature, “Pie Oh My!” (page 61), we share 25+ out-of-the-pizza-box creations that’ll hopefully have you hungry to branch out of your (thin…or maybe thick) crust comfort zone and explore more of our region’s praiseworthy pizzerias. If you’re looking for one last hurrah before summer comes to a close, consider a staycation. In “Vacation by Design” (page 54), we share some hip home rentals that aren’t only aesthetically appealing but sited within walking distance to a trove of treasures, too—from Apple Hill to Historic Folsom to Old Town Auburn. It’s a good reminder that getting away doesn’t always mean going far away. What else comes with the changing seasons? A change in your wardrobe. For readers wondering what to wear when the temps dip down, we turned to the pros—personal stylists to be exact—and asked them how to look fresh this fall. Flip to “Dress Code” (page 48) for their top style tips, plus a list of local boutiques we love. One trend that never goes out of style? Supporting small businesses. So, whether you’re deciding where to pick up tonight’s pizza or what to do this weekend, I encourage you to choose the mom-and-mom places featured in this month’s magazine. Cheers! —Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

PIE OH MY!<br />
pro in the pizza-making arena. Whether<br />
it’s a classic combo of gourmet Italian<br />
sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms,<br />
onions, bell peppers, and black olives;<br />
or a simple white pizza (olive oil,<br />
garlic, sautéed spinach, and tomatoes),<br />
you can’t go wrong with any of their<br />
toppings or bases.<br />
MUST-TRY PIE: Chicago-<strong>Style</strong> Deep Dish<br />

pepperoni)<br />

It’s all in the name at<br />
Danette's Brick Oven<br />
Pub—one of Placerville’s most<br />
popular locales. The owner,<br />
Danette, serves brick-oven<br />
pies (along with a lengthy list<br />
of other foodie favorites) in<br />
a pub-like setting (think 30+<br />
taps and plenty of TVs) that<br />
screams small-town charm.<br />
The thin, hand-rolled-to-order<br />
crusts serve as the perfect<br />
vessel for whatever sauce you<br />
select (marinara, pesto, BBQ,<br />
asiago cream, or buffalo), melty<br />
mozzarella, and an array of<br />
over-the-top toppings. Pair it<br />
with a pint and let the good<br />
times roll.<br />
MUST-TRY PIE: Bacon<br />
Cheeseburger (Dijon, marinara,<br />
seasoned ground beef, red<br />
onions, diced pickles, bacon,<br />
tomatoes, homemade Thousand<br />
Island dressing)<br />

A flaky, buttery crust holding thick<br />
layers of mozz and hand-crushed<br />
chunky tomato sauce await when<br />
you order one of the deep-dish<br />
pies at Sacramento-area staple<br />
Chicago Fire. With a cook time<br />
of approximately 40 minutes, rest<br />
assured it’s (well) worth the wait.<br />
One bite (yes, a knife and fork will<br />
be needed!), and you’ll see exactly<br />
what we mean. For those wanting<br />
something lighter, you’re in luck;<br />
Chi Fi, as its affectionally known,<br />
also offers thin, gluten-free, and<br />
cauliflower crusts.<br />
MUST-TRY PIE: Deep-Dish Abe Froman<br />
