Move over Inizio Pizza Napoletana, DeSano does Neapolitan pizza WAY better. The pizza isn't soggy and the crust is actually browned and, where it should be, crispy. They've got some really tasty pizza selections in two different sizes -- both shareable -- that range between $10-23. Their ingredients are flown in weekly from Napoli and Campania. Friendly staff and very clean inside.
As soon as you walk into this restaurant in midtown, all 5,000 sq ft of it, you see the grand authentic wildfire pizza ovens (they are a part of the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, which preserves the centuries old craft of authentic Neapolitan pizza), stacks of wood, and bags of flour, with the smell of freshly cooked pizza wafting through the communal-style seating room, bar, and patio. Pizza is delivered to your seat so you can sit back and relax, and even watch sports on the many large screen tv's they have.
Their menu items exceed pizza, including meatballs, calzones, salads, and desserts like gelato, Nutella pizza, biscottis, and cannolis.
They have other locations in places, like Nashville and Charleston to name a few.
