World-renowned Neapolitan pizza in the heart of the East Village
“Ordered the mortadella and burrata pizza, very tasty almost like eating a hero. I broke apart the burrata when it was served to me. The classic pizza as always was delicious”
“My friend and I were pretty surprised that the rating is so low than how the pizzas are actually good here. We designate here as the pizza place of life. Paris level. Juan was also an absolutely amazing server. Everyone was very kind. Thank you for making amazing day.”
“This restaurant is for pizza napolitana connaiseurs. If you know your pizza napolitana and if you know what pizza napolitana has to present and to offer then this place is for you. They use double zero flour from Italy. Their wood fired oven is built by all the requirements of the trade and it reaches the temperature of 950 F or 510 C. The pizzaiollo forms the pizza by hand and puts her in the oven for 2 minutes. That's all it takes. I have eaten pizza in Italy and I have eaten pizza from Israel all the way to Hawaii in every country I visited and I did quite a few. This is Pizza Napolitana by the book. Don't let anybody else tell you anything else. Mario, it's a friendly dude, the atmosphere is relaxed, no pretenses, no nonsense. And they accommodated my party of ten. And trust me, the pizza there it's the real deal. They serve Italian import beer and very good wine and then at the end comes the tiramisu dessert which is something else on another level.”
“I went there on a Friday night and was able to snag a last-minute reservation for early dinner. As always, their pizza didn’t disappoint. The classic Margherita is my favorite. I also tried the octopus salad, which was good, but I’m not sure it’s worth the price.”
“It's disappointing when the salads are better than the pizza! The pizza was served room temperature - almost cool. The crust could also use more salt and olive oil to enhance the flavor. However, the ingredients are very good and the wood-fired oven makes up for what they lack elsewhere.”
