has it relocated anywhere?

Since we're getting esoteric with our flatbreads, is there any place in the Bay Area that serves "flammekueche", or Alsatian pizza? I know a gastro-pub (such as it is) called Les 3 Brasseurs in Montreal that features it, as "flammes". It's much lighter than pizza.

A while back people were raving about the frozen Alsatian pizza at Trader Joe's.

No, it's been replaced by a taqueria.

You can get socca at Nizza la Bella or Rose Pistola (where they call it by its Italian name, farinata).

[Doodleboomer]

you mean to tell me that socca is the equivalent to farinata? i am dumbstruck right now because rose pistola's farinata is so delicious and savory and wonderful and the three different soccas i tried were absolutely inedible!

[Robert Lauriston]

Farinata and socca are the Ligurian and Nicois names for the same dish. Here's Rose Pistola's recipe:

The things that Socca Oven served didn't look like any socca I ever saw, but there are many variations on the recipe. I think topping them with stew or ragout was Gregoire's idea.

oh yeah, and completely different in texture, flavor and presentation
