Description

Summary: Gourmet pizzas & baked delights in a snug space.

Milo & Olive offers a delightful culinary experience in a cozy, intimate setting with just 25 seats. This charming spot is known for its artisan-style pizzas, featuring a selection of eight different pies that cater to both vegetarians and meat lovers alike. Their pizzas, like the roasted potato and house-made pork belly sausage, are baked to-order and take about twenty minutes to prepare. But the wait is well worth it, as you can start with their free-range chicken meatballs or indulge in the morning offerings of croissants, brioches, and pains au chocolat, all baked on-site. While the restaurant doesn't take reservations and a wait is likely, the ambiance with wood beams, brick, and cement walls provides a welcoming atmosphere. Their coffee is sourced from Luxxe, and they boast a carefully curated boutique wine and beer list. Additionally, the restaurant showcases their commitment to quality and community through the use of organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs sourced from the local farmers' market. With its wood-fired oven at the heart of the kitchen, Milo & Olive not only impresses with its pizzas but also with homemade pastas and a standout wood-fired pound cake finished with honey and whipped cream. Weekend brunches are particularly popular, offering a chance to savor their delectable dishes in a relaxed, friendly environment.
