Two Sonoma County Eateries Unite for a Pocket Pizza Pop-up in Santa Rosa

PizzaLeah chef Leah Scurto joins Marla Bakery for a night of pizza portafoglio on Aug. 8 in Santa Rosa.


In Naples, they call it pizza portafoglio, but you can think of it as pizza origami. The portable pocket pizza loved by snacky Neapolitans is coming to Santa Rosa as chef Leah Scurto of PizzaLeah joins Marla Bakery for a one-night dough-down.

Scurto will set up her portable pizza ovens in the Marla courtyard on Davis Street from 4 to 8 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 8, serving up thin pizzas folded into quarters and wrapped in paper for easy street eating.

Marla owners Amy Brown and Joe Wolf will offer up arancini, cucumber melon salad, spumoni and ricotta ice cream to pair with Scurto’s Margherita; marinara and Sungold tomato; or pepperoni with maitake mushroom portafoglio pizzas.

Marla Bakery also offers fried chicken pickups from 5 to 8 p.m. every Friday and winemaker dinners throughout the summer.
