"One of the best pizzerias in town, thanks in large part to a crust made from finely milled double-zero flour, fermented slowly with natural starters, then hand-stretched to preserve its structure; the result is a sturdy yet airy base with edges that blister and bubble just right — a key reason it landed on the 50 Top Pizza USA 2025 list this month. Since opening in 2023, chef Michael Vakneen has passed the torch to general manager Erica Bell, whose guidance keeps pies bold and inventive, with nods to Asian flavors and techniques and a clear focus on nurturing ideas from within, like a pie topped with confited carrot ribbons and lemon ricotta that sounds unlikely but tastes exactly right. My favorite, though, was a surprise: a deceptively simple marinara pizza Bell created after a conversation with legendary pizzaiolo John Arena of Metro Pizza, with the center sauced in bright, zippy house-made marinara and the outer perimeter laden with a reduced version simmered for six to eight hours until thick, sweet, and deeply savory — a slice designed to intensify as you move from tip to crust." - Janna Karel
