Worth it

I’m a sucker for the Soppressata Piccante (tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, soppressata, chili flakes, oregano). But my husband swears by the stracciatella white pie (stracciatella, cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil).

What I wrote thereFold it away

Motorino’s serves the best Neapolitan-style pizza on the Upper West Side pizza. My husband I are big fans of their “order two pizzas for delivery/takeout by phone & get a third pizza free” special, especially when hosting friends.

I’m a sucker for the Soppressata Piccante (tomato sauce, fior di latte mozzarella, soppressata, chili flakes, oregano). But my husband swears by the stracciatella white pie (stracciatella, cherry tomatoes, basil, olive oil). Word to the wise. Skip the clam pie.
