downtown Orinda's 8 Moose Pizza cranks up the heat in its ovens
8 Moose Pizza Opens in Orinda, California
After months of anticipation, 8 Moose Pizza has finally opened its doors in Orinda. Previously home to Bravo's Pizza and Nation's Giant Hamburgers, the Theater Square corridor now boasts this fast-casual pizzeria.
The new restaurant opened softy last week, serving up house-fermented sourdough pies, counter-service slices, and a selection of local beers. Owner-operators are particularly proud of their 48-hour cold-fermented dough, which promises a tangy, chewy crust.
The menu is refreshingly simple, offering plain cheese or toppings like pepperoni, sausage, onions, and more. Customers can choose between a 20-inch pie or a single slice. Basic salads and a local wine and beer selection are also available.
8 Moose Pizza is currently open daily from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. Online ordering through their website and a walk-up slice window make it convenient for quick lunches.
According to a recent Glassdoor ad, additional pizza cooks are sought at $20 per hour, suggesting that traffic is expected to increase rapidly.
The name "8 Moose Pizza" remains a closely guarded secret for now. Patrons will have to visit the restaurant to uncover the mystery behind this catchy moniker.
Intrigued locals are eager to try the new addition to the Orinda dining scene.
