New American
Emily
Emily started in 2014 when co-owners Emily and Matt Hyland, who bonded over pizza, decided to open the kind of neighborhood spot they wanted to frequent themselves. It's known for its wood-fired pizzas with inventive toppings and a burger that unexpectedly became a city-wide sensation. Many regulars make a point to split a pizza and a burger to get the best of both worlds.
★ The Legend
The Emmy Burger
This burger features a dry-aged Pat LaFrieda beef patty, caramelized onions, Grafton cheddar, and a spicy 'Emmy sauce,' all served on a Tom Cat pretzel bun. It was created by Chef Matt Hyland for lunch one day when he was tired of eating pizza, and it quickly developed a cult following, often selling out daily.
◆ Fan Favorite
Colony Pizza
This red sauce pizza is topped with mozzarella, pepperoni, pickled chilis, and a drizzle of honey, creating a unique balance of sweet, spicy, and savory flavors. It's a consistent crowd-pleaser, often cited as a go-to order for those who want to experience Emily's inventive pizza style.
● Chef's Pick
Famous Original Dan's Pizza
This 'pink pizza' features Emily's house-made vodka sauce, oregano, and mozzarella. Co-owner Emily Hyland shared that the vodka sauce pizza was inspired by her high school pasta parties, and Chef Matt Hyland developed the meaty sauce for the pizza.
◇ Hidden Gem
Housemade Ricotta
While the pizzas and burger get all the headlines, regulars know to start with the housemade ricotta, served simply with fruity olive oil and salt. It's a fresh, creamy starter that showcases the kitchen's commitment to quality ingredients beyond the main attractions.
Insider Tip
If you're dining with a group, the move is to order both an Emmy Burger and a couple of pizzas to share. The burger is substantial, but you'll want to experience the range of their wood-fired pies too.
