PIZZA REVIEW: Sorbillo Pizzeria

My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. SADLY, SORBILLO PIZZERIA IS NOW CLOSED. If you asked me about the most traditional (and delicious) Neapolitan-style pizza in New York, I would have sent you to the businesses run by Roberto Caporuscio and his family, like Kesté or Don Antonio. Sure, Roberta’s and Motorino are …

PIZZA REVIEW: Sottocasa

My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. Like so many places out there in the wilds of New York, I should have visited this place a long time ago. Sottocasa is one of those neighborhood spots that has quietly been praised and packed by locals and has even expanded to Harlem. But the …

PIZZA REVIEW: Mario’s Restaurant

My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. Of all the pizza options along Arthur Avenue in the Bronx, Mario’s might be the most interesting.

PIZZA REVIEW: Cafe al Mercato

My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. SADLY, CAFE AL MERCATO IS NOW CLOSED.

PIZZA REVIEW in New York: Marta

My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. SADLY, MARTA IS NOW CLOSED. I wouldn’t necessarily think that a pizza review is the place to address the discussion of no tipping in New York City restaurants. But Marta is no ordinary pizza place. It’s one of Danny Meyer’s casual fine dining restaurants (I …

PIZZA REVIEW: Prova

My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. Not sure why but I expected more from Prova. I really had no good reason to since the new pizza stand is in the bottom of Grand Central Terminal (not always the best place for serious food), comes from Donnatella Arpaia (not my favorite person when …

PIZZA REVIEW: Scarr’s Pizza

My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. There are old-school pizzerias and then there are old-school pizzerias. Scarr’s harkens back to a different time than the city’s oldest pizzeria Lombardi’s when Italian immigrants were cooking tomato pies in old coal ovens. Scarr’s is reminiscent of a time not that long ago (I …

PIZZA REVIEW: 00 + Co.

My search for the best pizza in New York continues…. Everybody loves pizza. So it’s in chefs’ best interests to try to make the dish accessible to everyone – especially in this day and age of allergies and dietary restrictions.
