Classic Margherita Pizza

📍 New York Italian-American Pizza $$$

at Lucali

"Mark Iacono stretches the dough by hand into a near-perfect disk. The San Marzano tomatoes are barely cooked. The mozzarella pools and chars at the edges. Each pizza is different because each pizza is made by one person. That's the whole point."

"Crust has that elusive combination of chew and crisp. The charred bubbles on the cornicione are not accidental — they're the result of Iacono's decades of repetition. The cheese-to-sauce ratio is textbook perfect."
