"Santa Fe’s best pizza spot is also perfect for a casual date. Esquina churns out wood-fired pies flexing perfectly-blistered crusts and smokey cheese showered with toppings like truffled pecorino and Calabrian chile. Here’s a foolproof order on a second or third date: a bottle of red, the caesar salad, and the hot pepper pie punched up with ‘nduja and two kinds of peppers. It’s a good amount of food for two people that makes for a nice but not-too-fancy pizza party spent swapping slices and whatever embarrassing stories you’re finally ready to share. The staff here is Bacchus-level passionate about grapes, so expect storytime after asking for a skin contact suggestion." - Nina Katz
