"Built to meet pandemic-era takeout and delivery demand and sharing an address with Aventino, AP Pizza Shop adapts the All Purpose blueprint into a lunch-and-dinner pizza-focused spot that showcases slices and whole pies alongside salads, sandwiches, and Italian‑American starters like roasted garlic knots and a Jersey-style eggplant parmesan. I like the tech-forward setup — photo-packed digital tablets for ordering and a front pickup window — and the lunch service is slice-focused while whole pies are available during the shorter dinner shift; Friedman says he’s excited to give New York and New Jersey transplants a literal slice of home. The shop’s hours are 11:30 a.m.–9 p.m. Sunday–Thursday and 11:30 a.m.–10 p.m. Friday–Saturday." - Travis Mitchell
