Fodor's Expert Review Putah Creek Cafe
$$
Sacramento
American
The wood-fired pizza oven blazing away on the sidewalk turns out this café's handmade pies, but the lunch and dinner fare extends well beyond them to tacos, cauliflower buffalo wings, pastrami sandwiches, fish in béarnaise sauce, and fresh salads with ingredients from a local farm. The brick-walled dining room has been a farmers' hangout for breakfast (you name it) for decades.
