The Pizza Lady

While at Montecito Village Grocery, I spotted Emily Mullisen surrounded by boxes of Table 5 frozen pizza and offering tastes of her company’s product. Table 5’s pizza dough is made with a mix of cornmeal and wheat, giving its crust a heft not often found in pizza. Table 5’s top seller is the mushroom-and-basil combo that Emily was serving up. Vicolo, which sells fresh pizza in downtown San Francisco, produces the frozen Table 5 brand and is where Emily worked before returning to Santa Barbara. The pizzas are found in the frozen section at the back of the store, next to the ice cream.
