Toting an impressive tenure at Thomas Keller Restaurant Group and Farmshop Marin, chef-owner Mark Hopper’s first solo act, Vignette Pizzeria is ideally located at The Barlow, Sebastopol’s artisanal marketplace, emphasizing local food, art and wine. “Vignette” refers to a moment in time, allowing focus on one object – in this case, traditional Neapolitan pizza with an innovative twist.
The simple wine list features Italian-inspired, boutique wines highlighting Chef Hopper’s roots: California, New York, and Italy. Craft artisan beer offerings are in tune with this bi-coastal-country theme.
For a sweet ending, try Pizzelle Cannoli, Mama Hopper’s not-to-be missed symphony of ricotta cheese and candied fruits, dusted with chocolate. Uniquely local deliciousness.

Thx, Jym! Next time you’re in Sebo, we’ll go. No GF pies on the menu so your better half will miss out.
