NYC’s Nicoletta Pizzeria Finally Finds a D.C. Home in Navy Yard | Eater DC

"I'm excited that James Beard Award-winning chef Michael White is finally bringing his NYC-born Nicoletta Pizzeria to D.C.; the inaugural 45-seat dockside kiosk will open in early April at 301 Water Street SE next to White’s six-year-old Navy Yard standby, Osteria Morini. Replacing the former Morini Piccolo satellite stand, the rebranded Southeast waterfront site will focus entirely on pizzas made from Nicoletta’s hand-tossed doughs that undergo a three-day fermentation for a rich flavor; alongside build-your-own pies, featured offerings include a Calabrese topped with thick-cut pepperoni, sausage, tomato, mozzarella, and shaved red onion. I also learned that Morini Piccolo’s frozen negronis will make a comeback at Nicoletta, and the kiosk will serve parm sandwiches, wings, salads, beer, and wine, shifting to takeout and delivery only when cold weather returns; Nicoletta already has locations in Bernardsville, NJ; a mall stall in King of Prussia, PA; and inside Citi Field." - Tierney Plumb
