Ogliastro Pizza Bar

"Every neighborhood needs a couple of spots where you can take all of your first dates, pretend you’ve never been before, and act surprised by the secret patio with string lights. In Prospect Heights, one such destination is Ogliastro, a pizza place with candlelit marble tables and a bar that we wouldn’t mind sitting at once a week. We always order the classic margherita, but everything here is relatively reliable, so go forth and explore." - bryan kim, hannah albertine, nikko duren, willa moore

"What an awesome new addition to the neighborhood! Named after owner Pietro Sclafani’s home town in Sicily, Ogliastro, this pizza bar is killing it. Enjoy fancy pizzas, salads, charcuterie and cocktails in their warm, low-lit dining room or take it outdoors to the pretty and expansive leafy patio, which is perfect for large groups or parties. We LOVED the food. Start with Rape Arrosto salad of arugula, roasted beets, grapefruit, walnuts, gorgonzola and vin cotto. Then have the Carbonara pizza which is covered with fior di latte, guanciale, fresno chili, pecorino, black pepper, egg yolk and scallions. For the perfect dinner accompany your meal with the Boulevardier cocktail – a compilation of Michter’s Bourbon, Campari and sweet vermouth. Delicioso!" - Aki Carpenter & Chris Huban

In Prospect Heights, that’s Ogliastro, a neighborhood pizza place with candlelit marble tables and very good margherita pies." - nikko duren
