La Fiesta Square, Lafayette
Last October, we learned that Mangia Ristorante Pizzeria closed at La Fiesta Square in Lafayette and its replacement, Sliver Pizzeria, has now opened in this spot. Check out the Lafayette menu here. In addition to pizza, they also offer salads, nachos, waffle fries, and more. There is also various beer on tap, wine, margaritas and even fresh gelato. I tried a slice of corn pizza and quite liked it.
1372 Locust St, Walnut Creek
De Afghanan “Authentic Kabob House” has triumphantly returned to downtown Walnut Creek, to the very spot where they opened late 2019. Then, in 2021, Onigilly Japanese Kitchen opened in its place, but despite my love of onigiri rice balls, apparently, it wasn’t enough, and they closed rather quickly, which allowed De Afghanan to reopen here. I look forward to trying the kebabs out soon!
