Majka highlights Sacramento pizza

Chef Nyesha Arrington visited Majka Pizzeria & Bakery in Sacramento in a new Eater “Plateworthy” episode published Tuesday, April 28. (youtube.com) (eater.com) Eater’s episode describes Sacramento as the “Farm-to-Fork Capital of the U.S.A.” and sends Arrington first to the Midtown Farmers Market before a stop at Majka. (youtube.com) (eater.com) The Midtown Farmers Market says it operates year-round in central Sacramento and features more than 200 vendors across five blocks. A February 2025 expansion notice said the market could accommodate up to 300 active vendors on six city blocks. (exploremidtown.org) (sacramentopress.com) That supply chain is part of the point of the segment: Sacramento’s produce economy is close enough that a neighborhood pizzeria can build menus around what is in season that week. Majka’s own site currently lists different pizzas by day, including ramps, asparagus, sugar snap peas, artichokes, and mushrooms. (youtube.com) (majkabakes.com) Majka was not newly awarded a Michelin star in the episode. The Michelin Guide lists the restaurant as a Michelin-recognized Sacramento entry, and local coverage says Majka joined the California guide on May 14, 2025, alongside Kin Thai and Pho Momma. (guide.michelin.com) (abc10.com) (fox40.com) Michelin’s listing credits husband-and-wife team Alex Sherry and Chutharat Sae Tong and says the restaurant rose in Sacramento’s pizza scene with ingredient-driven pies and naturally leavened crusts. A cached Michelin excerpt highlighted an “ever-changing daily creation” built around seasonal toppings. (guide.michelin.com 1) (guide.michelin.com 2) Majka’s own website shows the restaurant at 1704 15th Street in Midtown and lists pizza service Tuesday through Saturday, with pasta and small plates starting at 4 p.m. each night. (majkabakes.com) The episode does not make Majka Sacramento’s only Michelin-recognized restaurant overall. It presents Majka as Sacramento’s only Michelin-recognized pizza stop, in a city where Michelin already recognizes a wider mix of restaurants and has awarded stars to The Kitchen and Localis. (youtube.com) (abc10.com) So the story in Sacramento is less about a new award than a new national spotlight: Arrington’s episode packages Majka as a neighborhood pizzeria whose menu moves with the market just a few blocks away.
