With beautiful settings from floor-to ceiling windows, red brick counter, and wood fire oven sets right up front, this pizzeria offers comforting Italian food with highlight on pizza—wonderfully crisp yet at the same time moist, burnt in all the right places, and with a pillowy crust.

Pasta is also good, with carbonara (B290) comes in a generous, unctuous lump scattered in so many shards of deep-fried pancetta you can barely make out the pasta beneath.
