enough and inspirational enough that
people say, 'Yes, this is quality.' "
Dahl, who opened Pisa Lisa in 2013,
says simplicity and careful attention to
the interaction between toppings is key
to creating a great tasting pizza.
"I'm about being natural and
quality-driven," she explains. "I want
the consumer to be able to taste the
flavors. It's about the vibrancy and the
quality of the flavors."

pizza customer, who may have been
previously conditioned by large chains
to expect greasy pepperoni and an
overabundance of cheese. Dahl turns
out thin crust, crispy wood-fired pies.
"I consider myself sort of a peasant chef," she explains. "The cliché
'less is more' is really what I believe in.
Because I believe in layering ingredients in a way that when you leave the
restaurant, you still are enjoying the
experience of the cuisine. I'm all about
the methodology and the layering of
each ingredient and how we treat each
