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

With pizza in their name—<br />
and glowing reviews to<br />
boot—you know the pies<br />
at Wally's Pizza Bar<br />
are something special. A<br />
blend of mozzarella, fontina,<br />
shaved parmesan, and<br />
provolone atop all their<br />
offerings ensure plenty<br />
of cheesy goodness, while<br />
a range of sauces (garlic<br />
butter, white garlic cream,<br />
BBQ, Thai curry, margherita,<br />
pesto, and marinara) keep<br />
the pizza party interesting.<br />
But it’s their fresh, never<br />
frozen Truckee Sourdough<br />
crust (a gluten-free dough<br />
is also available)—crafted<br />
from flour, water, salt, and a<br />
little sugar—that makes the<br />
slice extra nice.<br />
MUST-TRY PIE: Smokey BBQ<br />
Chicken (hickory BBQ sauce,<br />
four-cheese blend including<br />
creamy smoked gouda,<br />
oven-roasted chicken, crispy<br />
bacon, sliced red onions,<br />
and fresh cilantro)<br />

Local chain Selland’s Market-Café is<br />
a fan favorite for good reason. Reasonably<br />
priced food (plus beer and a full-service<br />
wine shop) made with high-quality,<br />
locally sourced ingredients in convivial<br />
environs mean it’s perfect for families,<br />
friends, and couples alike. Though the<br />
soups, sandwiches, and burgers are all<br />
praiseworthy, their wood-fired pizzas can’t<br />
be overlooked. House-made dough (glutenfree<br />
crust is also available) is topped with<br />
tomato coulis and mouthwatering ingredient<br />
combos (chicken, mozz, parmesan, bacon,<br />
jalapenos, arugula, béchamel, and goat<br />
cheese anyone?) that aren’t found at runof-the-mill<br />
pizza parlors. Perfect for sharing<br />
alongside a veggie-packed salad and<br />
before indulging in one, or more, of their<br />
delectable desserts, there’s no going home<br />
hungry here.<br />
MUST-TRY PIE: Pepperoni (tomato coulis,<br />
mozzarella, parmesan, pepperoni, and<br />
fresh basil)<br />
