Wood-Fired Pizza Places: Favorite Outdoor and Indoor Locations

One of my favorite things is enjoying a fall night outdoors after the weather gets a little cooler–and another favorite thing is wood-fired pizza. Luckily I get to live in a place that joins the two!

The area has a few local farms and other outdoor areas that hold regular pizza nights that continue throughout the fall. So pack a cooler and a lawn chair, and enjoy a great night outdoors. My three-year-old daughter loves coming with us for a family night because she isn’t confined to a restaurant chair, and instead can spread out on a picnic blanket and bring toys.
