"Some people might refer to Cate Blanchett as mother, but this pizza restaurant run by the Giusto team saves that esteemed title for their heirloom sourdough starter. It deserves the honor—airy and crisp with the right amount of bite, this crust is so good you’ll want to order one of their Roman-style pies, and a second basket of their sourdough bread for the table. Their appetizers are as good as the pizza, whether it's the punchy cacio e pepe garlic knots, preserved and tender calamari, or their creamy housemade burrata. Definitely save room for their silky smooth olive oil gelato drizzled with fennel-orange honey. Our favorite seat in the house is in the back where you can see the view out the floor-to-ceiling windows, watch the action on the main floor, and peek into the goings-on behind the kitchen-facing bar." - Danielle Rose
