Seen In Vancouver #390: Mesmerizing Food Porn From “Pizzeria Farina” On Main Street

A quiet, contemplative bit of exasperating food porn from Pizzeria Farina on Main via local filmmaker Corbie Fieldwalker (the agrarian cousin of Luke Skywalker). The film is short, but just long enough to make you start weeping with holy need. The tiny pizzeria – just a few blocks from our office – opens at 5pm and closes when they run out of dough (which they do with ease pretty much every night). There isn’t a dud among their seven, heavenly-crusted pies, but if we were to pick just two to scarf for the rest of our lives they’d be the dreamily creamy Quattro Formaggi (mozzarella, parmesan, provolone, ricotta) and the feisty Finocchiona (fennel sausage, peppers, provolone). Mmm. We’ll see you in line.
