"A private, top-floor salon used for intimate, reservation-only sessions for small groups, where Franco Pepe demonstrates a range of pizzas over a couple of hours: a light, airy deep-fried pie topped with fresh tomato, anchovy, and lemon zest meant to evoke “Italian summers by the sea,” his signature Margherita Sbagliata that pairs hot dough and molten buffalo mozzarella with cold tomato passata and a basil–olive oil pesto, and a standout pie finished with a cream of caramelized onion, crispy chickpeas, fried onion, and wild chicory—a thoughtful, textural progression that underscores the restaurant’s focus on technique and local ingredients." - Melanie Hansche
