"A Neapolitan pizzeria that debuted in Brookland in 2012, Menomale is run by the wife-and-husband team of Maria Rusciano and Naples native Ettore Rusciano and crafts its pies with ingredients sourced from Italy's southern Campania region, firing them in a hand-built wood-fired oven. One of the best sellers is the spicy diavola, topped with fior di latte mozzarella, spicy salami, red peppers, San Marzano tomatoes, and basil. Menomale intends to carry over its core menu while expanding selections at a new 3,000-square-foot NoMa location at the base of the Belgard, with an expected opening by summer 2019." - Tierney Plumb
