A new restaurant that serves New York-style pizza and smash burgers has opened in East Sacramento.<\/p>\n
Tiny Lot Pizza & Grill opened its first storefront at 1121 Alhambra Blvd., after operating as a catering company and online delivery service since 2014, according to its website. The restaurant sells a variety of pizzas and burgers that meet halal dietary standards.<\/p>\n
Halal is an Arabic word referring, in part, to food prepared according to Islamic religious beliefs which forbid the consumption of pork or alcohol.<\/p>\n
The restaurant prides itself on using fresh ingredients in its dishes. Tiny Lot slow-ferments its pizza dough for 24 to 48 hours to craft a “deeper, more complex crust flavor” with a lighter texture, the business owners wrote online.<\/p>\n
“You’ll notice the difference in the first bite\u2014the crust has structure without heaviness, with a subtle tang that complements the toppings rather than disappearing beneath them,” the owners wrote.<\/p>\n
All the restaurant’s sauces are created from scratch, withe fresh toppings and a menu that includes traditional cheese and beef pepperoni pizzas plus BBQ chicken pizza, garlic buffalo chicken pizza, and a chipotle-flavored pizza with mozzarella, chicken, beef bacon, and chipotle aioli. Tiny Lot also serves smash burger combos. It also offers homemade tiramisu for dessert.<\/p>\n
“Whether you’re ordering a classic Margherita or exploring the burger menu, you’re getting ingredients that were selected for how they taste together, not just what’s convenient,” its website reads.<\/p>\n
Tiny Lot is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, noon to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, and noon to 9 p.m. on Sundays, according to its website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A new restaurant that serves New York-style pizza and smash burgers has opened in East Sacramento.
