You can never go wrong with a classic Margherita or pepperoni pizza, but for this National Pizza Day on Wednesday 2/9, why not try something different?

Chef Ross Pangilinan's Bone Marrow Pizza is one of the most popular items on the menu at his two SoCal restaurants, Remix in Long Beach and Terrace by Mix Mix in Costa Mesa. The Bone Marrow pie is blanketed with Mornay sauce, shallot marmalade, red wine jus, and of course, the centerpiece being the roasted bone marrow that diners can scoop onto each slice for a mouthwateringly decadent mix of tangy and rich flavors. 

Terrace by Mix Mix is at 3333 Bear St #316, Costa Mesa. (657) 231-6447

ReMix Kitchen Bar is at 3860 Worsham Ave, Long Beach. (562) 421-0200

Santa Ana's Blinking Owl Distillery is now not only known for its award-winning craft spirits but also its chef-driven food, where the distillery's resident pizzaiolo Eddie Perez makes all of the pizza dough from scratch using organic California-grown rye grains, the same that is used in Blinking Owl's whiskeys! The Cacio e Pepe Bacon Pie features garlic creme, parmesan, black peppercorn, and thick-cut bacon for a savory & unctuous pizza with a wonderfully peppery bite. For a vegetarian option, the Heirloom Tomato Goat Cheese pie comes topped with heirloom tomatoes, local goat cheese, roasted garlic creme & little daubs of chimichurri for a flavorful meatless wonder.

Steel Pan Pizza, the Detroit-style pizza specialist tucked inside Rodeo 39 Public Market, is known for its perfectly square pan pizzas with its caramelized crispy bottoms and edges with a light and airy chew. Break out of your usual pizza routine and try the Truffle Mushroom Pizza with white sauce, truffle mushroom mix, pecorino, and parsley. Want something meatless? Try the Vegan Pizza, made with housemade cashew cheese, mushrooms, bell peppers, and broccolini.
