7 Global Foods to Eat in New York City - AFAR

"A Brooklyn pizza institution that emphasizes old‑school technique: dough is hand‑kneaded and proofed for 24 hours, pies are topped with house‑marinated tomatoes and baked in a wood-fired oven to yield a thin, crispy crust. The menu centers on a single large basil-topped pie that can be customized with additions like pepperoni, mushrooms, or marinated artichokes, and the calzones are also notable. The small, candlelit dining room and reputation mean waits of two to three hours are common; it’s BYOB and cash-only, so patrons often add their name early in the afternoon and return after running errands." - Natalie Beauregard
