🚨 We’re excited to announce combined ordering at 2nd Language and @tastepangeapizzeria. Starting now, you can order anything from the menu at Pangea Pizzeria next door while you’re dining with us.
.
🍜 If one of you wants ramen and the other wants pizza, you no longer have to decide between the two. Enjoy both!
.
🍕 Pangea Pizzeria specializes in Neo-Neapolitan pizza, which is a different style than you’ll find at Pangea Kitchen. It’s an American adaptation using Italian techniques and it results in crispier crust, more toppings, and a larger pie. As always, we focus on artisanal ingredients, made in-house by our culinary team or sourced from Italy and other quality local vendors. Order a whole pie in 14” or 18”, or choose from one of our 5 daily slices. Check out the menu at tastepangeapizzeria.com.
