About this blog:
Get the latest food news with the biweekly Peninsula Foodist newsletter.
I am a perpetually hungry twenty-something journalist, born and raised in Menlo Park and currently working at the Palo Alto Weekly as education and youth staff writer. I graduated from USC with a major in Spanish and a minor in journalism. Though my first love is journalism, food is a close second. I am constantly on the lookout for new restaurants to try, building an ever-expanding "to eat" list. As a journalist, I'm always trolling news sources and social media websites with an eye for local food news, from restaurant openings and closings to emerging food trends. When I was a teenager growing up in Menlo Park, I always drove up to the city on weekends with the singular purpose of finding a better meal than I could at home. But in the past year or so, the Peninsula's food culture has been totally transformed, with many new restaurants opening and a continuous stream of San Francisco restaurants coming south to open Peninsula outposts. Don't navigate this food boom hungry and alone! Feed me your tips on new chefs and eats and together we'll share them with the broader community.

Palo Alto's longtime Pizz'a Chicago to relocate
Uploaded: Apr 8, 2019
After nearly three decades of serving deep-dish pizza in Palo Alto, Pizz'a Chicago is relocating.
A three-story mixed-use project has been proposed for the site of the 4115 El Camino Real restaurant, so owner Juan Lorenz signed a lease at 2305 El Camino Real, which has sat empty since Pieology Pizzeria
closed in 2017.
Lorenz hopes to close the current restaurant and open the new one at the latest in June. The new space is currently under construction.
The menu will largely remain the same, Lorenz said, with a few new items, including thin-crust pizza. He said he hopes to see more business from foot traffic from the nearby California Avenue.
Pizz'a Chicago has been around since the 1990s. The first location opened in Santa Clara in 1991 and then
Palo Alto several years later. A San Jose outpost closed last year.
Stay tuned on firm closure and opening dates for the Palo Alto pizzeria.
We need your support now more than ever. Can we count on you?
