"What It Is: A Neapolitan pizza spot in LIC Perfect For: Dining At The Bar, Serious Take-Out Operation If you’ve been watching our Instagram stories or reading this Ride-Along Report lately, you know we’ve been deep in research for our ranking of NYC’s best pizza. Which is what led us to Levante, a new-ish LIC spot that people have been telling us to try. It’s a modern space serving a long menu of Neapolitan pizzas, along with pastas, salads, and other Italian food. But we’re here to tell you about the pizza: we tried a margherita, a burrata and mushroom one, and a spicy salami pie. And all of them were good - although certainly not worth traveling for. At the moment, they also don’t have a liquor license. The Verdict: If you live in LIC, stop by for pizza at the bar. But you don’t need to travel for it." - hannah albertine, bryan kim, katherine lewin, hillary reinsberg, chris stang, matt tervooren
