Resident Foodies say: Lebron James has a 10 percent stake in Blaze Pizza, which wants to do to pizza what Chipotle did to burritos. You go in and can make your own pizza, and it takes only a few minutes to bake. The taste is light and fresh.

The Dish: Market mushroom pizza at Starbelly in San Francisco
Resident Foodies say: Continuing our post on Starbelly in the Castro, the second pizza we had was the pizza with market mushrooms, cave aged gruyère, thyme & roasted onions. The butternut squash pizza really wowed us (click here for the review), but the mushroom pizza was a nice complement to our meal.
The Dish: Roasted butternut squash pizza at Starbelly
Resident Foodies say: We had a delightful lunch today at Starbelly in the Castro in San Francisco. We ordered two pizzas, which are displayed in the clever double-decker rack above. The top pizza is a seasonal dish: a pizza with roasted butternut squash, black garlic, local goat cheese, sage & pumpkin seeds. (We’ll talk about the bottom pizza in another post. If you’re wondering, it was the pizza with market mushrooms, cave aged gruyère, thyme & roasted onions.)
The color is perfect for the fall–and the San Francisco Giants–thanks to the butternut squash and black garlic. The taste is even better. An amazing combination of sweetness from the squash, and gooey, caramelized flavor from the black garlic. The goat cheese, sage, and pumpkin seeds round out the flavor, but our taste buds were so enamored with the butternut squash and black garlic. Hands down, the best pizza we’ve tasted all year.
