PIZZA Continued from page 1A special is a combination of things, Martinez said. The dough is different than any other, he said. The staff has worked out a recipe that allows cheese to be cooked on the crust, giv- ing it an added flavor. They also try to make the pies so they smell great and are sturdy enough that they don't fall apart or bend too much in the hand, he said. All the toppings are also hand-chopped and as fresh as possible, Martinez said. Then, one cook looks at every pizza that goes out to keep the pies consistent. So far, since the restau- rant opened in September, just before the Beef N' Brew event, Martinez has- n't heard one negative com- ment from customers. "We are proud to be here where people accept us and enjoy what we are doing," Martinez said. After the hard work it took to get here, he is thank- ful to be so warmly received, he said. ——— Andrea Wagner can be reached at 527-2153, exten- sion 114 or awagner@red- bluffdailynews.com.
