We surveyed the important people in your life to get their thoughts.
Your friends say:
That the bar is a great jumping-off point for Negronis and Americanas, a pizza topped with hot dogs and fries. There might be a hidden meaning in that name. We’ll let it slide.
Your third date says:
They’d like some face time with you on the microscopic patio. They’ll have the gnocchi al pesto and Sicilian wine. You’ll have the twice-baked pizza and Scekeratos (Campari, gin, mint). Your third date is pretty controlling.
Your clients say:
The tiny pizza bar in the back (think raw bar, but for pizza) is a nice, neutral lunchtime meeting ground for hammering out final details and sautéed clams.
You say:
That it’ll make you smarter. And you’re right. Eventually, it’ll act as the city’s first Scuola Italiana Pizzaioli—a pizza school that’s been around for decades in Italy.

Nothing. It’s a pizzeria.
