"Marda Stoliar of the International School of Baking helped develop the starter and dough for the pizzas at this vaunted Italian restaurant, which serves Neapolitan-esque pies topped with gaping-mouthed clams or kale-pistachio pesto. Nostrana is known for its seasonality, so some pies change fairly often; the funghi, however, remains on the menu in some form or another almost always, a layer of earthy mushrooms sitting under a pile of dressed, peppery arugula." - Ben Coleman
