As co-chefs of Flour + Water Hospitality Group and Flour + Water Foods, Thomas McNaughton and Ryan Pollnow oversee the culinary direction for the group’s San Francisco-based restaurants and CPG division. Together, they craft experiences and cuisine that showcases regional Italian traditions and Northern California influences with hand-crafted pasta and pizza at the center. Their current portfolio of restaurants includes Flour + Water, Flour + Water Pasta Shop, Flour + Water Pizzeria, and Penny Roma, in addition to the hospitality group’s partnership with the award-winning cocktail bar, Trick Dog. Over the years, their quality-driven approach has been recognized with accolades from the James Beard Foundation, Food & Wine, The San Francisco Chronicle, GQ, 50 Top Pizza, and more. Committed to fostering community both inside and outside of the restaurants, McNaughton and Pollnow are driven by creating a culture-first environment where team members always feel supported and inspired.
