Fist of Flour--various locations (Pizza gourmet food truck)

Fist of Flour was outside of Drake's Brewery (1933 Davis St., San Leandro) this past Saturday. Pizza and Beer. How can one go wrong? I have to give respect to a person who builds a wood-burning pizza oven in his own backyard. For step by step pictures of that building process, here is the link: http://www.wheresthefist.com/gallery/

While at Drakes, I enjoyed a tasting of some of Drake's finest. Denogginizer, Drakonic Imperial Stout, Dry Stout, EXXpedition Ale and Jolly Roger Ale. They were all refreshing and tasty, as usual.

I also enjoyed two of Fist of Flour's choices that day. One was their Meat Pizza with sausage, mozzarella, mushrooms, fresh basil and garlic. Hot out of the oven, it was crusty and had a nice combo of toppings.

The other was their Veggie Pizza with potato, arugula, pesto, mozzarella and sun-dried tomatoes. Also quite tasty. All the ingredients tasted fresh, had a nice balance and had that wonderful fresh-out-the-wood-burning-oven aroma.

I'm hoping maybe one day I can have a homemade wood-burning pizza oven in my backyard. But until then, I will enjoy Fist of Flour whenever I can.
