If you’re feeling adventurous, try the Mockingbirdsing with walnut pesto, roasted chicken, fennel, and gorgonzola. The specialty pizza menu is filled with similarly curated options, but you can also build your own if you know exactly what you want. Start your pizza dinner off right with an order of the Silver Bullets sweet potato wedges with chili-tomato dipping sauce.
