Abe and chef and co-owner David Murphy are also the founders of Ugly Pickle Co., which uses ingredients that farms have in excess as well as imperfect produce that can’t be sold at stores. The partners started talking about opening a pizza restaurant years ago, since they’re limited in what produce they can take for pickling, and pizza is more versatile. … [Read more...] about San Francisco’s getting an ambitious new pizzeria that creates pies made with food waste
