What’s better than PizzaLeah’s limited-edition pimento cheese, green onion and bacon pizza? An entire slate of specials, deals and collaborations during Bay Area Pizza Week (April 22-May 3).
The annual event highlights local pizzerias and pie makers across the region, and Leah Scurto of PizzaLeah (9240 Old Redwood Highway, Suite 116, Windsor) went all in with “The Swane” ($25).
Through Sunday, May 3, there is still time to sample the champion pizzaiola’s maximalist pie with sweet heat — a collaboration with Drip Sandwiches. Elsewhere, Slow Co. Pizza (8197 La Plaza, Cotati) presents its “Pretty Fly for a Funghi” ($20), a mushroom-forward pie with Point Reyes Farmstead Toma and arugula pesto. At Sonoma Pizza Co. (6615 Front St., Forestville), the “Cotati Hottie” ($28) arrives topped with cheese, pepperoni, charred pineapple, jalapeño, whipped cream cheese and confit garlic.
In Penngrove, Mama J’s (10101 Main St., Penngrove) riffs on fast-food nostalgia with the “Out-N-In” ($26), an homage to the Double-Double layered with a dupe of In-N-Out’s signature sauce, American cheese, ground beef, onions, shredded romaine and diced tomatoes. Mary’s Pizza Shack is offering a 15% discount on any size Combination pizza, and NY Pie (65 Brookwood Ave., Santa Rosa) channels Queens love with their Mets Stadium-inspired pie of buffalo chicken, mozzarella and blue cheese ($22.99).
