| - Went here for my birthday lunch with some colleagues.
I had the Zia Rita pizza which seems like a very popular option. It comes with "nduja sausage", fire roasted onion, and rapini. I have recently discovered that I really love rapini. Especially on pizzas and in Italian sandwiches. It adds such a delicious bitter green note and it remains firm unlike a standard lettuce green.
The crust was perfect Neopolitan style, chewy and thin. The sausage was very tasty, I love when sausage on a pizza is not sliced from a casing but rather freely presented around the za.
I'd put this pizza up against a Terroni, Libretto, or Piola pizza any day. Service left a little to be desired, it wasn't busy at all that day and yet it took awhile to be seated, order, receive drinks, and receive our food. Almost as though because it wasn't busy the servers were in no rush at all.
If the food is what matters most however, they are a great option in a part of town where Chinese dumplings, Vietnamese subs/pho dominate. If you're feeling like some casual Italian I'd recommend Strada 241.
