Moody Tongue Pizza Has Opened in the East Village | Eater NY
"An outpost at 123 St. Marks Place (at Avenue A) is presenting a Tokyo Neapolitan approach led by executive chef Vincenzo Santoro, Naples-born and formerly at Song’E Napule. Rouben describes the dough as "a delicate dough" with a light body and crisp underside that's focused on balance, and characterizes Tokyo-style pizza as having "an extra punch of salt, and a delicateness of dough that extends to the tip of the fire-seared crust." The menu features three salad selections ($12 to $16); appetizers like togarashi-lemon pepper wings ($17), fish karaage ($22), or meatballs ($14); a selection of crudo and hamachi ($16 to $20); and six pizzas ($18 to $22), from a simple marinara to a more elaborate smoked mozzarella, aged Parm, Italian sausage, and broccoli rabe pie. The interior is in the restaurant’s signature "dark and moody" style, and for now it's only open for dinner Wednesday through Sunday." - Melissa McCart
