The Black Lobster Pizza

From the signature Pizzas comes The Black Lobster($27) made with lobster tail on a squid ink pizza with fontina, mozzarella, garlic oil and thyme. The black base is one of the best we’ve tasted, but if the squid ink dough is not for you, you can order it with a regular white base.
