I'm not actually sure how I found out about P-Town Pie Guy, but I came upon them on social media and thought I would keep it in mind if I ever found myself in Pactifica on a Saturday.  It's a family owned business - husband and wife have opened up a kitchen in their home and take orders online.  It's take out only and they offer two styles of pizza - Neo-Neapolitan - 12" pies and Detroit Style pizzas (6x6 and 8x10).  They also offer meatballs.

Ordering goes live on Wednesdays ahead of their Saturday workdays. While you can't order on the spot, I easily ordered the afternoon that I wanted to pick up a pizza for dinner without any issue.  I was pleasantly surprised to find so many choices on their website.  From standards like pepperoni (made with local Molinary & Sons pepperoni) and called Pier-peroni or cheese, referred to as Sancheeze Adobe, you can get options like Pork Pacifica (a mix of sausage, soppresata, and mushrooms), and even get something different like Teri-nova Tiger, a play on the local high school team name and mascot - Terra Nova Tigers, which has a teriyaki sauce base with chicken and mushrooms, cheese, Kewpie mayo, scallions, and shredded nori and shichimi (a Japanese spice blend).  You'll find more on the website for the Neo-Neapolitan style pizza and also three options for the Detroit style square pie. 

P-Town Pie Guy touts its fresh digestible pizza crust, local ingredients, and high quality ingredients like local tomatoes and fresh mozzarella versus pre-grated cheese.  And I can confirm that it really does taste different.  

I arrived a little earlier than my reservation time, and Matt, The Pie Guy, was happy to accommodate, which I really appreciated.  You go up their stairs and the door is open.  There is a sign on a child's easel that tells you to ring the bell and they'll be with you momentarily. There is also a bench for you to sit on as you wait.  You can pay either ahead or on the spot.  Cash prices are slightly lower than credit prices.  Matt kindly assists with running pizzas down the steps as his customers make their way down. 

- The Banff - I opted for a classic combination - Molinari & Sons' pepperoni, Italian sausage, green bell pepper, red onion, and olives.  It was immediately noticeable that the cheese is different than your typical grated cheese - it's color and texture is different.  Also, if you're expecting a crispy crust like from the big chains, this is different too in that it's a soft crust with the outer edges still having a more toothsome texture.  The pizza sauce leans on the sweeter side and you can definitely taste the freshness of the ingredients.  A side of red and gold sauce, their pizza pepper relish, comes with the pizza, unless otherwise noted.  I personally didn't need this extra flavor, but gave it a try nevertheless.  It's more sweet than savory and I thought the pizza was already great on its own.  $24

If I lived in the neighborhood, I would be a regular.  Come support a local business with a unique take on pizza - it's familiar and yet, special in its own way.  Good stuff!
