Chef Bruce Kalman recently took the reins as exec chef at Urbano Pizza Bar in downtown L.A., replacing chef Brad Winnaman. Kalman was the opening chef at The Misfit in Santa Monica, where he favored a market-driven menu, specifically a Santa Monica Farmers Market-driven menu.

To kick off Kalman's new menu, which features a mozzarella pie ($8), a selection of salumi ($12), roasted garlic ($4) and fingerling potatoes ($6) as well as more vegan and gluten-free pizza options, Urbano has launched a Pizza Happy Hour.

Monday through Friday from 3 to 7 p.m., all pizza is half off the dinner menu pricing, and draft beer goes for only $4.
