I Fall to Pizzas

01/31/2025

Hey y’all. It’s been a minute since we last posted, so here are some random pics from the last several weeks, mostly pizzas we’ve made ha ha, for your enjoyment. Hope your 2025 is off to a great start, as best as it can be!

Speaking of, there’s a lot happening in the world right now, and it can feel pretty heavy. We don’t usually post motivational/inspirational stuff, but sometimes we need a reminder of what really matters. So here are some things we’ve been thinking a lot about lately and how we’re trying to live...

- Savor life.
- Be grateful, for everyone and everything.
- Focus on the positive, and learn from, but don’t get bogged down by, the negative.
- Create beauty and art that inspires, in whatever way you can.
- Love, celebrate, and support those close to you: yourself, your partner, your family, your friends, your community.
- Keep the flame inside you alive, and keep the flame you share with your loved ones alive, no matter what.
- You will run into obstacles, you will hit walls, you will fall down, you will get hurt. But get up, dust yourself off, and keep moving forward, please, for all of us.
- Choose kindness, empathy, and connection. We’re just a brief blip in the timeline of the universe, and choosing these might be the most important thing we can do for each other.

We’re glad to be here. We’re grateful for your patronage, your support, and your friendship. We’re grateful for you.

Love,
Misti & Mark

We’re big movie stars now, y’all! 🤩🤩

Just pulling your leg ha ha. By big movie stars, we mean we show up as a straight couple that gets murdered(!) in the upcoming short film “Willa Justice: Drag Queen Private Eye” by and . It’s screening as part of the inaugural 29 Q***r Film Fest , on Saturday, September 21, at at 8 pm! 🌴🏳️‍🌈🎥🎬🎞️

The star of the show is as Willa Justice, along as Jamie Bondopolous, heathermurielnguyen as Pink Face, as Tiny Goon, as Broad Body, and a local chicken as Doctor Eggs! 🐓

We had a lot of fun getting killed in this movie, everyone was cool and did a great job, and the film itself is a campy hoot! Special thanks to , and ! 🔪🩸🩸🩸

Saturday’s screening is also a gala event, featuring a performance by Lady Chilane, a panel discussion with the cast and crew (not us though cause we gotta jet back to to do pizza - come by for drinks and more pizza after the show!), screenings of a teaser trailer for ’s upcoming film “Outage” and Lady Chilane’s music video for “Bella Donna” by Stevie Nicks, and a game of Drag Bingo with amazing prizes!

***We’ll be serving up free slices of pizza (first come, first served) to ticket holders of the film only on Sat 9/21, just before the 8pm screening! 🍕🍕🍕***

Get your tickets for “Willa Justice” and all the great festival films and events for the weekend now at 29QFF.COM!

Still enamored by this great photo by our good friend (THANK YOU, KELLY), taken this past Saturday, 8/17, when we were at (we sold out that night btw, thanks to everyone that came out)!

We’ve dubbed this pizza our K.D., in honor of the great ! It’s got dates, blue cheese, Brussels sprouts, pickled red onions, a garlic oil base, a little mozzarella, and finished with a balsamic reduction drizzle. We always try to buy and use dates from local growers in the Coachella Valley for this one, but we’ve also used dates from when we visited there!

Misti created this pizza almost two years ago after Mark got obsessed with dates, and Misti went above and beyond with this amazing taste sensation! We don’t know if k.d. likes fruit on pizza, let alone dates, but we’d like to think so!

We don’t offer this pizza regularly, so if you see it on one of our upcoming Specials menus, you owe it to yourself to open your mind and give it a try!

Callin’ all local Earthlings and our welcome otherworldly visitors! Get ready for “Pizza from Another Planet” this Thursday 8/8 and Friday 8/9, from 7-11pm both nights at , as part of the inaugural AREA 29 GALACTIC GATHERING , Twentynine Palms’s high desert UFO and Perseid Meteor Shower Festival! 🎉👽🛸☄️

We’ve got two tasty, space-y pizza specials for y’all…

PURPLE PIZZA EATER 👾🍕
Beet béchamel base, a light sprinkle of mozzarella and blue cheese, shaved and roasted Brussels sprouts, pickled red onions, roasted constellation (!) tomatoes, and finished with a balsamic reduction drizzle. This one’s like a star in a sea of galaxies, unparalleled! (pics 1-2)

SPICE COWBOY 🌶️🤠
Italian sausage (or vegan sausage), four types of fresh-sliced chili peppers (green hatch, yellow, Fresno, habañero), mozzarella, and marinara. We recommend a side of our jalapeño-cilantro ranch sauce with this one to cool down your food hole! (pic 3)

A big universal thanks to and for putting this on!!! 🪐🙏

Emmylou, our white pie, started as a special many moons ago, but she’s more than earned her place on our regular menu almost every time we’re out!

On her own, she’s a vegetarian pie, with a mozzarella and roasted garlic oil base, spinach, roasted red peppers, and artichokes (last three pics). But in the first couple shots, she’s pictured with prosciutto, one of our frequent fancy meat add-ons that really tastes great on her and has become quite popular with our patrons. It’s our great friend, actor, and bartender extraordinaire ’s go-to!

Want her red? We’re always happy to sub the roasted garlic oil for our marinara. Or we can drizzle some marinara on top before cooking her up for ya. Your choice!

As the moon rises over the Mojave at sunset, a twisted ocotillo sways, ever so slightly, in the desert breeze, and a pepita-spinach pesto pizza, with whipped ricotta, pickled red onion, mozzarella, and marinara drizzle, rests, waiting for to be enjoyed by beautiful, loving family and friends.

We’d like to take a moment here to thank all our past catering clients and the venues that have had us and recommend us. We are truly grateful for all y’all and to be doing what we do in this beautiful desert we call home.

🙏🥰🙏🥰🙏🥰

Happy Pride Month, y’all! ✊🏳️‍🌈

The LGBTQ+ community holds a huge place in our hearts because some of our closest family members and dearest friends are part of it! 💕

Members of the community that made it all possible, starting with the Stonewall Riots, those that have come out before, during, and since then, and our own family’s and friends’ experiences have made us more empathetic and committed to supporting their rights and celebrating their lives. Knowing and loving them has enriched our own lives in infinite ways, and we’re incredibly grateful for them. 💖

We’re all human beings with limited, precious time together here on planet Earth: why not love and accept each other as we are, no matter our race, sexuality, or gender?

✌️❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

We really miss our breakfast customers and doing breakfast live ! But since this is no más, for the past couple weeks and for the foreseeable future, we’re offering our scrambled egg sandwich as one of their grab and go offerings! Heated up by Más’s wonderful staff, they’re available for consumption on or off MoM premises! From what they’re telling us, they’ve been flying off the shelf!

Our staple sandwich comes with egg scrambled with sautéed spinach, a slice of sharp cheddar cheese, sliced, roasted potatoes on our very own fresh-baked, tomato-garlic focaccia, and one of the following:

- bacon
- Black Forest ham
- Impossible veggie sausage
- 3-cheese (in addition to sharp cheddar, there’s also pepper jack and usually either Havarti or Muenster)

We’re also offering a few of the following:

- vegan choice with Just Egg and vegan cheese
- rotating gluten-free choice

Oh, and each sandwich includes a side of our Calabrian chili aioli sauce, too!

Happy Women’s Pizza Month! Our fearless leader Misti is one of the hardest working women in the biz, handling her RN job by day and doing food on her days off, nights, and weekends. Thank you for all you do, Chef! We love you so much!👩‍🍳🍕🥳😍

Our oldest Lou .factory helps out us so much with the pizza biz and everything, too, that I’d be remiss not to mention her here as well. She’s an amazing human being and cook in her own right. Thanks Lou! And I’ll forgive you for only liking to eat pizza occasionally 😉

NEW BREAKFAST SPECIAL! Available this Friday 2/16 in Joshua Tree!

FALAFEL FRITTER & EGG! Our falafel fritter (made with chickpeas, chickpea flour, spices, garlic, yellow potatoes, shredded zucchini and carrot, and LOVE of course) is topped with spicy tomato and chick pea stew, a feta-fried egg, and chutney vinaigrette. It’s gluten-free as is and can be made vegan (for a slight upcharge) with scrambled and vegan feta cheese!

We’ll also have our usual Scrambled Egg Sandwich and our Breakfast Burrito!

It’s our humble opinion that all of these items go great with a coffee from or one of Más’s own Cucumber Mezcal Micheladas (pic 3)!
