During COVID, I resorted to Goldbelly to fulfill my pizza fantasies from NYC, being generally unsatisfied with any options that Dallas had to offer.
In a moment of quiet desperation, I even reached out to the owner of another pizza restaurant out of state to ask if they too, would ship. They told me they didn't -- but, kindly referred me to Testa, which I am eternally grateful for. Who knew that great pizzerias have such a secret, internal network!
If you are new to Neapolitan-style pizzas, the quality of the dough preparation with 00 flour as well as the oven temperature and cooking process have a steep learning curve... and these guys really know what they're doing. Watching and learning from Maestro Vito Iacopelli on YouTube has been an inspiration in this regard.
I've dined both in-person and via Uber Eats at least 30 times. I'm not sure if this is now a point of pride or embarrassment, but every time I order, Uber Eats lets me know I'm in the top 5% of customers. In all cases, the food has been consistently excellent. Our go-to is the large Pancetta salad and Primavera pizza.
Testa, if you're reading this, I am praying you will consider adding a sourdough option to your menu at some point. I have cultivated an Italian Ischia starter at home that I would be happy to share for experimentation. I know some purists (hint, hint, AVPN) can be sticklers for the purist traditions, but who cares - la povertà è la madre di tutte le arti!
