"Chef Egidio Franciosa and partner Jannah Franciosa gave their popular mobile pizzeria a permanent location in Wedgewood-Houston, serving up Neapolitan-style pies like the diavola with calabrese salami in an open, airy, industrial-feeling spot. But the menu doesn’t stop at pizza — you’ll also want to dig into the restaurant’s carpaccio, antipasto spreads, risotto with seasonal mushrooms, and pasta dishes like bucatini with wild-caught octopus ragu and cherry tomatoes." - Ellen Fort, Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
