Description

Kaos Pizzeria is the counterpart of Gaia Bistro, which Patrick Mangold-White and Jon Edwards opened in 2006. The two eateries certainly look similar: The awkwardly laid-out rooms of the former bungalows are brought together by warm lights and earthy hues, with lush patios and gardens out front that are the best places to enjoy a meal at either spot. But whereas Gaia is a warm neighborhood restaurant that does a booming daytime business, Kaos is a lively pizza joint busiest at night, when it's often teeming with a mix of families, students and singles, lining up at the counter to order pies and then grabbing tables. Kaos uses a wood-burning oven to cook its pizzas and adheres to a Neapolitan style, going so far as to import Caputo flour and San Marzano tomatoes to get as close to the Italian version as it can. It supplements the pies with salads and sides made from local producers and the Gaia garden.
