Sunday afternoons just got a whole lot cheesier in Mill Valley! Madrona Bakery is firing up the oven for its new Wood-Fired Pizza Sundays, serving irresistible pies from noon until about 2pm (or until they sell out!).
The man behind the pies is David Torres, Madrona's head bread baker, who previously worked his pizza magic at The Mill in San Francisco. His creations are a delicious cross between Neapolitan and New York-style pizza, featuring generous slices, a beautifully blistered, bubbly crust, and a sprinkle of flaky sea salt underneath for an extra burst of flavor.
Choose from a classic Margherita or a rotating seasonal creation, available by the slice or as a whole pie. Everything is made fresh to order, with pies emerging hot from the oven in about 20 minutes. Pair your pizza with a glass of beer or wine from Madrona's curated selection, or grab a whole pie for an impromptu picnic at the nearby Depot Plaza.
The catch? No pre-orders, so come hungry, order at the counter, and get there early before the last slice disappears!

With a dozen tempting pasta dishes to choose from, the hardest part is deciding what to order! Dive into the luscious Lasagne di Lucca, layered with rich Bolognese, creamy béchamel, and melted mozzarella, or twirl your fork into Pappardelle con Salsiccia, tossed with spicy Italian sausage, oven-dried tomatoes, and spinach. Seafood lovers will swoon over the Tagliarini alla Scampi, featuring succulent prawns and rock shrimp in a garlicky lemon-butter wine sauce. And for something truly indulgent, don't miss the Ravioli con Funghi e Porcini, stuffed with porcini mushrooms and black truffle, then bathed in a velvety black truffle cream sauce.
