The Haven Pizzeria
About
Lauren Passero-Brookes opened The Haven in 2020, naming it after a series of underground tunnels from the early 1900s that once ran beneath Kensington. After success with Kensington Cafe starting in 2012, she expanded into inventive pizza territory, partnering with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a menu that refuses to be ordinary. The Cortezâolive oil, candied bacon, tomatoes, gorgonzola, topped with fresh avocado and arugulaâexemplifies this creative approach. The Lemon Ricotta and Pear & Gorgonzola pizzas push boundaries further. Beyond pizza, house-made pasta dishes include lemon Alfredo with garlic shrimp, while tiramisu layered with Kahlua whipped cream headlines desserts. The dog-friendly patio with heaters, craft beer selection, and daily happy hour make this TripAdvisor Top 10% spot a Kensington neighborhood anchor.
