MOORPARK, Calif. (KABC) — <\/span>Hearth is a cozy community hub.<\/p>\n

In fact, I\u2019d argue the restaurant is a hidden gem, tucked away in Moorpark\u2019s hangout destination, \u201cThe Alley.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want it to feel like a backyard barbecue, like we want it to feel like you know everyone, but there’s also new faces and we’re always cooking,\u201d owner Sebastian Fernandez said. \u00a0\u201cWe’re just having a good time, no matter what.\u201d<\/p>\n

This restaurant is a dream Sebastian has had cooking for as long as he could remember.<\/p>\n

Last year, he kindled Hearth, along with wife, Kellie Fernandez, and best friend and business partner, Sergio Chavez.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s just been much more rewarding and life-giving than any of us could have ever imagined,\u201d Chavez said.<\/p>\n

Mexican, Venezuelan and Italian-inspired dishes can all be found on the menu.<\/p>\n

But Hearth is probably most known for its woodfired pizzas.<\/p>\n

We got started with the best-selling hot honey.<\/p>\n

Fresh out the oven, bite into pepperoni, red peppers, plenty of cheese, and of course, the drizzle of honey.<\/p>\n

Mark my words, the margherita pizza is also a must.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I loved the arepas, too. It\u2019s a traditional cornmeal sandwich with carnitas and queso fresco.<\/p>\n

Big Caeser salads, and Sebastian sold me on the crispy potatoes with the salsa matcha aioli.<\/p>\n

Kellie brings a degree in nutrition to the table, and is grateful Moorpark recognizes the intentionally-sourced local and organic ingredients.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo honored that people would wanna feature us and would wanna show our restaurant,\u201d Kellie said. \u201cIt’s been such a special experience this past year, really getting to create this space for the community.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>Moorparkis one of the coolest towns,\u201d Sebastian said. \u201cI mean, i think the more we’re in Moorpark, the more we fall in love with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a relaxed space filled with vintage art, music and greenery, you can come by Hearth for coffee or tea from 8 a.m. until noon.<\/p>\n

Hearth serves lunch starting at noon, and dinner at 5 p.m.<\/p>\n

The restaurant is open Tuesday through Saturday. Walk-ins are welcome, but reservations are encouraged and available on Resy.<\/p>\n

Hearth is at 330 Zachary St. #109, in Moorpark.<\/p>\n
