Moto Moda officially revs up in Wedgewood-Houston today, Nov. 20 with a mashup Nashville didn’t know it needed: New York-style pizza served with a side of vintage motorcycles.

The new restaurant from Jimmy Pruitt and Andy Mumma operates out of a converted 1940s trucking building with six glass-paneled garage doors. The menu, developed by Nashville chef Wes Scoggins, features 16-inch pies, antipasti, and lunch-only slices + focaccia sandwiches. And the motorcycles? They are for sale, along with apparel and motor accessories.

Reservations are live on OpenTable, though walk-ins can cruise in anytime.
