Slice Pizza and Brew
With this name, is there really any doubt what they serve? Locally grown ingredients are the hallmark of these pizzas cooked in a natural stone oven. Stop in for not only pizza, but salads and Italian and Mediterranean sides, too. $30 is the featured special this week with an appetizer, a stealthy listing of entrees and dessert.
Post Office Pies
Avondale is home to this restaurant. Saw’s Soul Kitchen owners Mike Wilson and Brandon Cain and chef John Hall collaborated to bring these hand-tossed pizzas to life. It also features unique salads and a bar filled with brews from Avondale Brewing Co. Their special this week is a $30 dinner for two, with an appetizer, featured pie and homemade tiramisu for dessert.
Pies and Pints
Hearty pizza pies are stretched and baked on a stone hearth, then slathered with a rich tomato sauce that’s homemade. The Southside eatery is featured this week with a $15 lunch special with a simple salad of mixed greens and three entrée choices. Dinner for two is $30 with an appetizer, entrée and rich dessert featuring a chocolate peanut butter brownie.
Other featured cuisines for Birmingham Restaurant Week include barbecue, Italian, Mediterranean, New Southern and Asian-inspired foods. For more restaurants participating in Birmingham Restaurant Week, visit their site.
