It's been a long five years for Brandon Conaway and Carolina Pedroza-Conaway, the couple behind Wallflour (the pizza artists formerly known as Quarantine Pizza Co.). Starting at the peak of the pandemic in 2020, out of their patio in Highland Park's Hermon neighborhood, the Conaways have grown to have a cult following for their naturally-leavened chewy bite, crispy blistered crusts, and gonzo toppings by popping up multiple times every week at their home, breweries, private catering events, and Smorgasburg L.A.
But the wait for a place to sit down, and have a fresh local beer, dry cider, or glass of natural wine with the Conaways' pizza is finally over. They officially have an opening date for their first brick-and-mortar: April 27th.
“After all the years of abuse, it’s exciting knowing that instead of being at the mercy of the elements, we finally get to do things on our terms,” Brandon tells L.A. TACO, recalling years of hauling dough and portable ovens across the city.
