"Pizza with a focus on a perfectly pliable yet crisp crust, high-quality toppings, and interesting combos in Astoria? Yes, please. Sonny’s, a new pizzeria that shares space with Astoria’s beloved gay bar Xanadu just a block from the waterfront may have limited seating, but takeout is available, too, and worth it. Everything looks good, from the vegan’s delight of kale, roasted mushrooms, caramelized onion, and garlic to the Hawaiian, which gilds the lily with mozzarella, smoked ham, bacon, pineapple, and jalapeno. Don’t forget an order of cheesy bread, which comes with a chunky marinara sauce with lots of fresh basil for dipping. Order online until it runs out of dough for the night." - Jennifer Burns Bright, Alex Frane
