Ever tried sourdough bread? You probably have. The spongy, dense bread has made appearances on dinner tables since Ancient Egypt.

But what about sourdough bread with your pizza? Enter Wildcraft Sourdough Pizza in Culver City – a hip new eatery that serves up gourmet pizzas with a sourdough crust.

Located in downtown Culver City, Wildcraft Sourdough Pizza is a laid-back space with great service and awesome food. The industrial decor of the restaurant is livened up by urban accents -- such as brightly colored graffiti wall.

For the beer lovers out there, the eatery features 16 beers on tap. But Wildcraft isn’t just known for its beer -- its claim to fame is its Neapolitan pizza.

The “Burrata Pie” combines squash blossom and burrata with other unique toppings on Wildcraft’s signature crust. This all makes for a heavenly combination. The creamy burrata and aromatic fried rosemary mingle with orange oil and the crunch of shaved pistachio. The soft, chewy, and slightly crispy sourdough crust is the perfect complement to a very delicious pizza.

If squash blossoms don't float your boat, you can try Wildcraft’s other adventurous pies. Standouts include the clam & pork, and the carbonara -- which is topped with pork belly and a cracked soft egg. Or you can always stick to more classic flavors like "The O.G.," Wildcraft’s take on a classic margherita pizza.

The restaurant also offers traditional appetizers as well as desserts. Check out the salted caramel budino and the "sour dough nuts." A satiating meal, from start to finish!
