Home Cooking Take & Bake

Home Cooking Take & Bake sits on Briceland Road in the heart of Redway, a small town framed by the towering redwoods of Humboldt County. Open since 2022, the family‑run pizzeria is run by Chef Tony Martinez, a former line cook from San Francisco who brings authentic New‑York‑style crusts and a passion for fresh, locally sourced toppings. The menu highlights include the classic Margherita with San Marzano tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella, a spicy Pepperoni Inferno loaded with house‑cured pepperoni, and the signature Redwood Veggie, topped with roasted local mushrooms, caramelized onions, and a drizzle of truffle oil. For meat lovers, the Humboldt Harvest features locally sourced beef sausage, smoked bacon, and a sprinkle of Monterey Jack. All pies are baked in a stone oven that reaches 500°F, delivering a crisp edge and chewy center. The interior is casual, with reclaimed wood tables, vintage pizza memorabilia, and a chalkboard wall displaying daily specials. Outside, a small patio offers shade under a pergola, perfect for a quick bite or a family dinner. Opening hours are Monday‑Saturday 11:00 am‑9:00 pm and Sunday 12:00 pm‑8:00 pm, with a price range of $10‑$20 per pizza. Customers can order ahead via phone or the Linktree page, which also links to Instagram updates of new toppings and community events. Whether you’re a local hunting for a hearty slice after a day in the forest or a traveler passing through Redway, Home Cooking Take & Bake promises fast, friendly service and pizza that feels homemade.
