(Formerly) Secret Pizza

Beau Gamache crafts artisanal pizza at Bayona Café in Manchester’s Millyard.

For a moment, you had to be in the know to find Ray Street Pizza. Maybe you caught a post on Instagram, or a friend tipped you off. At one time, Beau Gamache only took orders from neighbors, friends and through social media, working out of his home on, you guessed it, Ray Street. Then the pandemic supersized the demand for quality takeout, and he got serious about his New York-style, ultrathin-crust artisanal pizzas. Gamache quit his job, found kitchen space in Manchester’s Millyard and opened the new-and-improved Ray Street pizza. Now he has an expanded menu, weekly specials, and online ordering for pickup and delivery.

Pop-Up Dining

Chef-and-pastry-chef duo Matt and Laura Berry take cooking seasonally seriously, using mostly what the land provides. You won’t find them at a restaurant, at least not their own — they hold intimate pop-up dinners with elegant tasting menus at venues around the state, including outdoors at local farms. Dahlia, named for their daughter, is a nomadic restaurant, and it can be a bit elusive. Reservations fill up fast, and anyone hoping to experience their cooking will need to sign up for alerts at the website and keep an eye on social media.
