The Yellowstone Eats Local: From Our Table to Theirs
One of the things that makes Downtown Pocatello special is the growing community of locally owned businesses that are passionate about what they do. Recently, we had the opportunity to visit Braise•Zen Pizza, and it was outstanding.
Located inside The Martlet Brewery on Main Street, Braise•Zen serves authentic Neapolitan style, wood fired pizza made with traditional techniques and high quality ingredients. Their commitment to craftsmanship is evident from the first bite. Their dough is made with authentic Italian Caputo "00" flour, their pizzas are cooked at extremely high temperatures, and every pizza arrives hot, fresh, and incredibly flavorful.
What impressed us most was not just the food, but the experience. The pizzas came out remarkably fast, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. The Caprese salad was fresh and vibrant, and everything we tried reflected the care that goes into their menu.
A special shout out to LJ and her team. They are talented, hardworking people who genuinely care about their guests, their food, and our community. Those are exactly the kinds of local businesses we love to support.
If you haven't been yet, make an evening of it. Grab a pizza from Braise•Zen, pair it with a beer from The Martlet (or not if you're not a beer drinker as there are other NA choices), enjoy the atmosphere, and support two great local businesses that help make Downtown Pocatello a destination worth visiting.
They're open Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, so check their website or their page for exact times.
We're fortunate to have them here. We also have The Martlet's Beer on tap in the Union Taproom!! Locals supporting locals.
