We received an alert yesterday that Arizmendi Bakery had, as predicted, opened their new Mission location, after spending a couple of weeks giving away several thousand breads and pastries — while they underwent some rigorous training from staff at the other Arizmendi collective in town (on 9th Avenue). And yes, there is pizza, one flavor per day. Today’s special: tomato, arugula, and a brush of balsamic vinaigrette, all on a crust that, while delicious, more closely resembles crusty sourdough than a traditional pizza crust. We believe that, like the other Arizmendis, they’re open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and they could begin running out of pizza at some point, so you might want to call ahead. It’s $20 for a whole pie, or $2.50 a slice.
