As part of the restaurant's guest chef pizza series, Jes Bengtson, head chef at Westport's The Granola Bar, will unveil her “Bubby Pizza” on Wednesday, July 8 from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.

This first time endeavor will include Bengtson's house-cured salmon, goat cheese, ricotta, arugula, caramelized leeks, red onion, and her own homemade caper oil. She created the caper oil by boiling olive oil, fresh dill, capers and caper juice for a distinct flavor.

“We wanted to create a creative and delicious pizza that reflects what people love at The Granola Bar," she said. "The Bubby [a toasted half bagel with house-made chive cream cheese and house-cured salmon, tomato, red onion and capers] is a fan favorite. This pizza is a fresh and innovative spin on our signature comfort-food dish.”

Brick + Wood is located at 1275 Post Road, (203) 939-1400. For more information, visit www.lovelifeandpizza.com/events/.
