Bushwick, Brooklyn ยท restaurant
Louis Prima hums on the speakers. Rocky Marciano posters line the walls. This is a NYC original. The coal oven built in 1890 by German bakers turns out bubbly, charred pies that land somewhere between New York and New Haven style. The 20-layer lasagna verde and the tiramisu in a rocks glass are worth ordering alongside any pizza.
Twenty layers of housemade pasta, cream sauce, fresh spinach, and three cheeses.
Olive oil-washed vodka with Calabrian chili brine -- a spicy Sicilian twist on the classic martini.
Coal-fired sourdough pies, topped with DOP San Marzano tomato, fior di latte, and Pecorino sardo.
