Parlour makes my new favorite pizza. Wood oven, super-thin crust (reminiscent of Pizzetta 211), nice scorch and crunch. Tried one with nduja sugo, mustard greens, red onion, and burrata, great combination. They’re small enough to be a light meal for one.
Their coffee bar has a pretty good cornetto as well. Just don’t ask for it by using the word “croissant” – they will laugh at you. (In good fun, I think)
Really enjoyed Lucia’s pizza. The crust is great – chewy, a bit charred, not too thick. It was fun to sit at the counter, feeling the heat of the oven, watching the pizza cook in about a minute! The roasted Brussels sprouts were very good, too. This is going to be a regular pre-theater dinner spot for me (along with Comal).
I went last night, ordered house-made sausage with rapini, orange peel, fior di latte, chile, and garlic. The crust was completely different, tender Neapolitan-style. Very good but not what I was craving.
Randomly ended up at Aisle 5, which I had never heard of, for lunch yesterday. I swear I can’t walk or drive anywhere without coming across a new beer bar.
The pizza could have been a bit crisper for my taste, but it was very good regardless. House-made fennel sausage was excellent. Good size, I was pretty hungry but ate only half.
They had Monk’s Cafe on tap, one of my favorite beers and not something I see very often even in bottle. Nice place.
Finally got back to BaoNecci. It has not gone downhill. It’s still better than half the pizzas I had in Rome when I was there for a month in 2015. Reservations are a good idea, they were turning people away on a Monday night.
Had Tony’s a couple weeks ago and I was a little disappointed by their Margherita. I found the sauce too watery for my tastes. Their Jersey’s Trenton Tomato Pie had good sauce consistency though, a tad tarter than I like but maybe that’s what they were going for.
