"Now Fiorelli Pizza has landed a tiny, mostly takeout spot on West Third Street with a smattering of stools to enjoy personal-sized New York-style thin-crust pizzas plus some helpful menu additions like lamb Bolognese and Caesar salad. A pepperoni pizza ($25) is definitely the best everyday pie here: a gently blistered crust and soft undercarriage never get Neapolitan soggy. There's a subtle balance between the sauce and cheese that lets curled pepperoni cups be the star."
"The Caesar salad, topped with tangy white anchovies and a healthy dusting of crunchy breadcrumbs, would impress any fan of the iconic dish. Pleasantly bitter radicchio contrasts with sweet little gem leaves that feel pulled right from the field. Lamb Bolognese uses extruded pasta sourced from the Beverly Hills Cheese Store with a long-braised meat sauce whose flavor never teeters into gamey territory."
"Fiorelli's crust is sweet and aromatic but can become a tad floppy after a few minutes. Best to eat your pizza right when it lands on the table or throw it on a cast-iron skillet for a minute if taking your pie to eat at home. Thick chocolate chip cookies with firm outer edges crumble into a delightfully melty interior."
Michael Fiorelli left large, bustling kitchens to collaborate with Liz Gutierrez on wood-fired pizzas in a Venice garden, and now runs a tiny mostly-takeout spot on West Third Street. The menu centers on personal-sized New York-style thin-crust pizzas alongside additions like lamb Bolognese and a field-fresh Caesar. The pepperoni pie features a gently blistered, aromatic crust and curled pepperoni cups. The supreme layers mushrooms, sausage, peppers, onions and jalapeo for variety. Lamb Bolognese pairs extruded rigatoni with a long-braised sauce. Crusts can become floppy after a few minutes; thick chocolate-chip cookies provide a crisp, melty finish.
