BRIAN'S 100 Best '16 Pizza

100 BEST ’16 in New York: FUNGHI at MARTA

I’m counting down the 100 best dishes I tasted in 2016…

SADLY, MARTA IS NOW CLOSED.

I had some issues with the service at Danny Meyer’s Roman pizza palace, but I can’t ignore the fact that the food is pretty great. Especially the mushroom loaded pie. The perfectly charred thin crust provides a perfect showcase for the simplicity and complexity of hen of the woods and chanterrelle mushrooms. It’s dotted with both sharp fontina and buttery mozzarella. And then thyme and red onions bring out the woodsy and earthy notes. Price: $16
