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 />
DID YOU<br />
KNOW?<br />

The Associazione<br />
Verace Pizza Napoletana<br />
(True Neapolitan<br />
Pizza Association) is a<br />
nonprofit founded in<br />
1984 with headquarters<br />
in Naples, Italy, that aims<br />
to promote traditional<br />
Neapolitan pizza.<br />
With a name like Curry Pizza<br />
House, you know the pizzas<br />
here are going to be anything<br />
but boring. Craft curry pizzas<br />
like chicken masala, chili<br />
paneer, and aloo chaat are<br />
a feast for the senses—and<br />
that’s putting it mildly. They’ve<br />
also got classic offerings and<br />
intriguing small plates with an<br />
Indian twist like baked masala<br />
chips (French fries), desi pesto<br />
spicy sticks, and house garlic<br />
sticks (cheesy garlic bread)—<br />
proving that variety, and actual<br />
spice, are indeed the spice of<br />
life.<br />
MUST-TRY PIE: Palak Paneer<br />
(pesto, spinach, red onions,<br />
masala paneer, green chilis,<br />
ginger, garlic, and mozzarella)<br />
3984 Douglas Boulevard, Suite<br />
140, Roseville, 916-755-6400,<br />

Steve’s Pizza harkens back to<br />
1978. Since then, the local chain has<br />
continued to get better with age. Not<br />
only have they perfected the art of<br />
pizza-making, but they’re committed<br />
to helping the community and<br />
earning patrons’ respect by serving<br />
quality food and craft brews with<br />
a side of friendly service. Whether<br />
you stop by for one of their lunch<br />
specials, an order of wings, trip<br />
through the salad bar, or a popular<br />
pie—like their namesake “The<br />
Steve”—you’ll leave satisfied…and<br />
planning a prompt return!<br />
MUST-TRY PIE: Mediterranean Gourmet<br />
(marinara or pesto, spinach, sliced<br />
Greek peppers, red onions, black<br />
olives, feta, Roma tomatoes, and<br />
fresh oregano)<br />
