State Flour Pizza Company

Perfect woodfired pizza with upgraded gourmet toppings, offering half&half pizzas. Clean white simple decor with warm white lamp lighting, a streamlined vintage feel? Love the State 'Flour' name with California poppy logo, our state flower ... representing us well here DESSERT: So excited to see they had a vanilla PANNA COTTA, with honey & fresh strawberries atop served in a small yogurt-sized glass cup. It was a little softly set but felt chilled still. We should've ordered a whole one each, next time! PIZZA: The crust was good & narrow, blistered some, firm enough on bottom not soaked thru nor soggy. No thick square pizzas on menu, we wanted a thinner variety. They offer a thin medium round single pie with 6 slices; we both ate 2 slices each & shared a salad & dessert. We loved trying these 2 specialty-topping combos on a single pie as a half & half, kindly suggested by our server (thanks!): - HALF "OLLiE" PIZZA (caramelized leeks, crimini mushrooms, nut free pesto, sausage, garlic confit, mozzarella, grana padano (a white pizza $24, lots of tiny chopped toppings, more filling than the LoLo below, loved both) and the 2nd half... - HALF the "LO LO" PIZZA (Pineapple, Hot Sopressata, Goat horn Peppers, Tomato Sauce, Fontina, Mozzarella, Grana Padano, fresh Basil (a red pizza, loved this sweet-hot elevated Hawaiian $24) We'd get the same half&half again, or may bring home a 2nd pizza, we ate 2 slices each SALAD: Endive Apple $13 with 3 huge thin-crisp prosciutto slices: Endive, little gems, pink lady apples, crispy prosciutto, blue cheese cheese, pistachios, shallots, Tarragon vinaigrette. The house salad sounded unique & delicious too. . APPETIZER: Will try the BAKED RIGATONI & RICOTTA BOLOGNESE app next time. EXPERIENCE: It was 50° on a Wednesday January eve after 5p, so we sat upstairs where it was warmer & inviting on the loft overlooking the downstairs dining area & passersby outside on busy College Ave. It wasn't busy as far as picking a table, & the service was great upstairs on this quiet evening. There's a water station upstairs be our attentive server brought us waters without asking in nice mason jar style type-handled cups. Not a tv place, didn't expect any. There were people picking up takehome orders, and a quiet bday gathering upstairs, a good area for private parties or a weekend gathering. Must return to have this pizza again :-)

A Hidden Gem for Pizza Purists This isn’t your classic pizzeria—it’s better. Think: thin, crisp crusts, pitch-perfect ratios, and inventive, unfussy flavor combinations that reveal serious culinary intention. Every pie feels like the result of thoughtful experimentation, not trend-chasing or nostalgia. If you’ve already made the rounds—Da Laura, Rose, Cheeseboard, Jupiter, Zachary’s, Summer Kitchen, even Nabloom’s—and still crave something new, this place will reset your expectations. It’s pizza stripped to essentials, elevated by quiet mastery. No hype, no scene—just pizza that earns it. You’ll thank me.

Absolutely delicious! Quality all around. The dough/crust was divine and the toppings perfectly balanced. The sauce had a bit too much sugar added and could use a little work, but otherwise no complaints. I got a Darcy pie and gradually ate the entire pizza throughout the afternoon because it was so good.
