This favorite Downtown Davis restaurant opens in its new location this weekend. I will always associate this place with my dear departed friend David Kim. I hope that Woodstock’s Pizza finds a way to honor his memory during this exciting evolution! (at Downtown Davis) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmK_M3ML97B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
