Re: Dolomiti Pizzeria & Enoteca (Millwork Commons)

Tried this place over the weekend. Food was excellent, space is beautiful, and service was great. Signage to find it isn't great, but I assume they will fix that. Nice and toasty with the big pizza oven on a cold day.

The small building on the left looks to be about that size. But that's a minimum $85M project (and likely...

Yes! I work in a large office building that uses Hillside. They are great to work with, reasonably priced, and we have significantly reduced our contribution to the landfill. Being able to take advantage of a commercial composting facility is a game changer. Highly recommend!
